Update: Abandoned on a Mountain, Missy to Be Adopted by One of Her Rescuers

Anthoni Ortolani, the man who left his dog, Missy, on a mountainside last month has agreed to allow one of the dog’s rescuers adopt her, as part of a plea deal.

The rescuer will appear on the “Ellen DeGeneres Show” today to talk about their experiences.
