A 73-year-old woman won't be allowed to join the rescue team of the White Mountain Apache Tribe of Arizona.
Lucy Wallace and her dog, Molly, were training for the rescue team's canine unit. But after she was profiled in The Arizona Republic, the tribe had to let her go.
The tribe said Wallace failed to disclose her medical history. She has had five heart attacks and was in a near-fatal car wreck a few years ago.
