Photo from Melissa Davis / Summit Lost Pet Rescue When the Schlehr family lost their dog, Piper, while on vacation in Summit County, Summit Lost Pet Rescue stepped in to help. The search started with the pet-finding nonprofit’s standard procedures — including posting signs and leaving out items that smell like the dog’s owners — but a windstorm chased Piper away. Then it was all hands on deck for midnight searches and a “Team Piper” text thread before she was found in a shed 27 days after she went missing. Piper’s owner, Erin Schlehr, said her family rescued 2-year-old Piper in May near their home in California and decided to travel to Colorado in January. The family planned to ski at Beaver Creek Resort for a few days, so they hired a dog-sitter in Silverthorne.
