Velvet is a black lab/shepherd cattle mixed-breed dog, owned by Matty Bryant of Milwaukie, Oregon, who helped save three climbers, including Bryant, when they became stranded on Mount Hood, Oregon on February 18, 2007. Velvet was treated at a non-profit Portland veterinary clinic for broken toenails and a cut on one paw. A fund now exists at DoveLewis Emergency Animal Hospital in Velvet's name to assist low income families with emergency veterinary care.
