Dog Found Alive Next To Dead Body Of Owner Who Went Missing Two Months Ago
A tragic story, but at least there’s some good news about the man’s dog surviving. There are no details about how the dog managed to stay alive for two months(?!), but animal instincts obviously kicked in, and it found food and water in the surrounding areas.
News via the search and rescue team out of Colorado:
On October 30th, the body of missing hiker 71-year-old Rich Moore of Pagosa Springs has been found, along with his dog, who was found alive and with his body. Moore and his dog had been missing since August 19, disappearing after leaving with a plan to summit Blackhead Peak, which is located just east of Pagosa Springs. TSAR member Delinda Vanne-Brightyn along with her certified K9 AkioYodasan responded to the initial search. Delinda writes “We searched from just under the peak-top and directly West, searching down the mountain toward where his car was located. Winds were directly from the West/Soutwest. It was so steep, we were inserted in by a helicopter. He was found 2.5 miles East of the mountain-top beneath where we were inserted.”
