GUNNISON COUNTY, Colo. (KDVR) — The search continues for 7-year-old Ullr, a border collie, rottweiler, wolf mix, who was lost during a deadly avalanche southwest of the Town of Marble two weeks ago. Now, his owner is looking for help from trained scent and search dogs to help find his best friend. “They got me and flew me to the Aspen Valley Hospital.
