"She had no idea anything was going on. She was playing in the snow today, she was going for some chipmunks, things like that," said Crandell of Nalu. "Luckily, we got that information before we left. We happen to have dog harnesses, so we can secure the dog in the helicopter that way, too," said Sweeney.
