While visiting a friend who was looking to rescue a horse from a kill pen in Louisiana, Susan spotted Ember, who was scheduled to be sent to slaughter within four hours. She made a deposit on the spot. Originally named Flash, he was renamed Ember because life was still there, awaiting a chance to glow brightly once again. It took a long time to remove the glue and sticker that marked him for doom and get him back to health. Ember became an adoring companion for Foffy and adapted well to his unusual herd of bison and burros.
