Dog stayed with body of missing hiker, found in L.A. park (May God bless this courageous and loyal pup)

Many years ago, my cousin disappeared while hunting by himself. Search and rescue looked for him for three days. They found him when they heard his hunting dog barking and followed the sound. As they approached, she was lying snuggled right next to him, barking frantically. He had gone into a diabetic seizure and died before he could access the supplies in his backpack.

I have no doubt my Erica Kane/Susan Lucci tiny German Shepard would never ever leave my side.

Reading this saddened me.
