Miracle Jack Russell Found Alive Alongside Hiker Missing for 10 Weeks
November 15, 2023A loyal dog stood guard over its owner’s body for more than 10 weeks in the wilderness, displaying incredible dedication and loyalty. 71-year-old Colorado hiker Rich Moore went missing in August while climbing Blackhead Peak, and despite a search effort, he couldn’t be located. Eventually, a hunter found Moore’s body and his 14-year-old Jack Russell Terrier, Finney, who had lost half her body weight. Finney was reunited with Moore’s family after a visit to the vet. The cause of Moore’s death was hypothermia, and Finney likely survived by eating small animals while avoiding predators. The dog’s loyalty and fortitude were praised, with rescuers calling it a “magnificent story of survival.”
