WOLF CREEK, Ore. (AP) — A three-legged dog named Captain Jack is back home after volunteers and neighbors rescued him from a roadside vigil over his mother.

The large dog with red fur had been standing guard near the body of his mother, a wolf-hybrid named Violet, along Interstate 5.

Volunteers from the Rogue Valley Humane Society and the Toby Fund, which helps pet owners pay for spaying and neutering, joined neighbors of the owner to remove the body and transport Captain Jack home.

The volunteers and neighbors rescued the dog after the Daily Courier in Grants Pass reported the Josephine County Animal Control office had no money to retrieve strays.

The Toby Fund gave Captain Jack's owner a voucher to pay for the 1-year-old's neutering.
