Rescue efforts by Las Vegans to save a baby burro choked up the host of the syndicated radio-TV talk show "Savage Nation."
Michael Savage got emotional while reading an article about how the Las Vegas horse community came together to assist the injured week-old burro after it was found in February on the roadside near Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area.
Savage, in town for the National Association of Broadcasters convention, read the account from the Valley Horse News, a local weekly owned by Dan and Jill Bradley. They were among a number of equine lovers who got up every three hours to feed the little guy whose back legs were paralyzed.
Vet clinics pitched in, as did many others. Despite six weeks of round-the-clock efforts, the burro lost its struggle.
