Thank you for helping find Butch

To the editor: The Steiger family would like to thank all who were involved in the search for Butch on Dec. 9 and Dec. 10. Due to all the caring and dedicated people that helped in the search, Butch was found safe and is doing well.

Thanks to our nephew, Brandon Holzer, and other Lincoln County and Forest Service law enforcement officers, as well as search and rescue volunteers. Thanks to Steve Snyder, for coordinating a plane to fly over the area as well as the pilot that was willing to volunteer his time. Thank you to all of our family and friends who joined the search. A big thank you to Tanner Marshall and his friend that found Butch and brought him to safety. Also, to Tanner’s family for all their help.

We cannot thank you all enough for all the long hours you spent searching for Butch. We sincerely appreciate every one of you.

Most of all we thank God, He does answer our prayers.
