Hello?! The guy had a rescue dog with him? Shouldn’t this be a situation that rescue dogs come in handy? Should the rescue dog have rescued him??
This is goofy. Amarillo, TX is a long way from Saguache, CO and 4 days later he is found there?
He must have “beamed” over to Amarillo.
As the snow continues to pile up today, we want to make sure you are stocked up on essentials: toilet paper, bread, batteries... and Mountain Dew?
A 31-year-old Indiana man survived for three days in his SUV stuck in deep snow in Colorado, keeping himself hydrated with snow and Mountain Dew. Jason Sede was driving from Dulce (New Mexico) to Pueblo (Colorado) to deliver an Australian Shepherd rescue dog. He planned to drive through Aspen in order to pick up another animal delivery there.
But he never made it to Aspen. Pede, of Chesterton (Indiana), said a local had told him about a shortcut to the resort town through the Rio Grande National Forest. But Pede was unfamiliar with the roads, and he got lost and stuck in the white-out conditions.
Pede and the dog stayed in the heated car to keep warm, drinking a couple cans of Mountain Dew, a bottle of water, and snow that Pede melted with a fire he made, according to the Denver Post.
But when the fire was out and the last of his gasoline was gone on Sunday morning, Pede knew he had to look for help. He wasn't sure he'd survive the night in single-digit temperatures.
Leaving the dog with the Lincoln Navigator, Pede walked seven miles before he came across another road. He used a flashlight to signal passing cars for help before collapsing.
Fortunately, Pede will be able to safely go home to his wife and three children.
And the dog was also eventually delivered unharmed to Pueblo.
Let this be a reminder. There is no shortcut to safety.
Alien Abduction.
We’ll probably find more frozen animal worshippers and other oddball city folks thawing out up here during the run-off in a month or two.
Wait a min. Somethings not right. It’s 500 miles from Amarillo Tx to Saguache, Colo. I mean come on. He walked? It doesn’t make any sense. He would have to go through the Oklahoma Panhandle and pass a bunch of big towns... I cry B.S. He was abducted by aliens. Kitty aliens who didn’t want him to deliver the “rescue” dot.
Dulce NM........lost........wanders into Amarillo TX on foot....?
Yep.....happens all the time !
He gets buried in snow in Colorado. Missing for 4 days. They find him near Amarillo. He sure as hell can travel fast...on foot...in near blizzard conditions. I ain’t buyin’ it. Can’t happen.
Somehow, I think he was really searching for assistance. Sounds like UPI is hiring illiterates these days.
Also note: "Rescue dog," in this instance, probably means that the dog had been rescued by an animal rescue organization (after it had been abandoned), and the dog was being transported by this man to his new home. These organizations often find people to volunteer to drive rescued animals for segments of a long-distance trip, so that no one has to end up driving the animal all the way across several states.
He must’ve been ready for that 32 oz steak at the Big Texan and I’ll bet the dog was too.
Fella survived on Mountain Dew?
I think we’ve found your secret, my FRiend! LOL
