A dog missing for 11 months after surviving a Colorado avalanche has been spotted

• Dalbey was hospitalized with a broken hand and frostbitten fingers, while his dog was nowhere to be found.
• However, rescuers confirmed dog tracks leaving the avalanche debris, raising optimism he had made it out.

The latest: After 341 days working with canine trackers to set up trail cameras and food traps, Dalbey shared on his GoFundMe page last Thursday that he finally got word of what he has "known all along:" Ullr is alive.

• And he "looks really really good, especially … for being on his own for almost a year," he added.

What's next: Ullr is likely to be homeward bound soon now that trackers know his whereabouts.

• "There are plans in place to make this a reality and bring my unbelievably strong boy to safety," Dalbey wrote.
• "Please keep those reports of pawprints, barking, or possible sightings coming — every lead is a good lead until we prove it's not," he noted.
