Ellen welcomed Zak & Michelle Anderegg to the show to talk about Zak's amazing rescue of an abandoned puppy. He saved the young pup, Riley, from 350 feet down a canyon -- and then brought him here to meet Ellen!

I can't believe the heart of stone someone must have to have left that poor, helpless dog in that canyon. I praise Zak for his willingness and determination to save Riley. After watching it, I hugged my dog. I am sooooo glad there are people like Zak out there.
Zak is sooooooo awesome. I'm glad no one was around while I watched this story....I cried like a baby! I love animals so much and I truly don't understand why there are people that don't feel the same way. Why can't all people be like Zak....what an amazing guy.
This was the best story ever. I love ZAK what a guy..what an amazing human being. I have a friend who spends thousands of her money every year feeding homeless cats and she is amazing also. More people should take a page out of ZAK's book and display compassion for animals.
Thanks for sharing this story
That was one of the best stories ever! To see the photos of the condition Riley was in when he was rescued, and then to have him come out on stage looking healthy and happy - it was just amazing. Thanks to Zak for his unselfish rescue of this poor dog. Thanks to you for getting this wonderful heart warming rescue story out to the public, and thanks to Southwest Airlines to let Riley fly in the cabin - how horrible it would have been for him in a crate in the cargo area.
Loved the story and that sweet pup!! Zak is one awesome Marine!! I only wish that if they ever find out who did that to sweet little Riley he/she get left at the bottom of the canyon.
Thank you so much for featuring Riley and his extraordinary family on the show. The story is just captivating. Zak and Michelle restore my faith in the human race.
Ellen,
Thank You soo much for having Zak and Reilly on your show!! I recently rescued a Deer Chihuahua that was tied up outside a crack house in Philly, that was covered in mange, emaciated, dehydrated, he had no fur, and you could see his organs through his skin. When I saw Zak, and heard what he did for Reilly, it gave me confidence in people once again, since I lost ALL confidence after I found my Bambino in the shape he was in. How can people do such horrible things to such loving creatures?? Thank YOU for spotlighting the good in people, Ellen, it really does go to show that a little love can go a long way!!
ellen, this story has such a happy ending. thank you so much for showing it. It breaks my heart that someone would be so mean to an animal.
This is such a heart warming story! I cried the whole time. Thank you for having everyday people on your show that do such amazing things and for inspiring people. When you do good things good things happen to you. Zak is my hero!
This story brings such a happy ending to a sad and terrible-terrible situation. A dog lover! A Marine Veteran! What more can you say? I'm a dog lover and an Army Veteran and it makes my heart happy to see such a rescue! What an inspiration dog lovers and Veterans are! Thank you for a wonderful story! Man, I love this show!
Omg gosh ellen thanks sooo much for this story. I love animals they r my passion I cry everytime one of those abused animal commercials comes on tv. This is an amazing story what a wonderful gift he gave that sweet puppy if there I would have done the same. My fam and friends think I'm animal crazy lol things I would do for them but god made them too and there lives r just as important. I'm so thankful someone had a enough sense and a kind heart to save him. God bless him.
i cried when they brought reilly out.. to see the condition he had been in only 3 months earlier.. and to see him so open and loving, laying down so they could pet his stomach.. gave me inspiration about resiliancy.. maybe it is possible to rebound like that.
Such a wonderful story! Thank you to the man who rescued Riley! Thanks to Ellen for the nice gifts to the family!
Well put! Unfortunately, there are many people
who think "it's just a dog". I cried when I saw
that picture of Riley when he was rescued and
cried again when I saw him today. My grandmother
told me when I was a little girl never to trust
anyone who didn't like animals. I live by that
to this day and have seen it to be true! Ellen,
you are the best. Bringing stories like this to
the attention of the world can only help the
plight of the poor, unfortunate animals that are
mistreated every day. God Bless you.
