A lost horse has returned to his herd after five months alone. County10 reports Mouse got loose in the backcountry this summer. His owner, Dubois resident Preston Jorgenson, searched several times for him to no avail. But Mouse was recently spotted by some snowmobilers. The snow was too deep, and he was too weak to be led out, though. So, a rescue team from several local businesses formed, and Mouse was loaded onto an inflatable raft and towed by snowcat, then snowmobile, to safety.
