A ten-year-old girl miraculously survived a ferociously cold night in a snow blizzard in Russia by clinging on to a stray dog for warmth.

Vika Z was found with frostbite hugging the 'fluffy' abandoned pet following a frantic search by police, officials and volunteers.

She had got lost half a mile from her home as she returned from school in Uglegorsk on Russia's largest island, Sakhalin, in temperatures that plunged to minus 11C, said police.

Funny, I was just listening to Russian radio describing stray dogs in the cities!

>>>>miraculously survived a ferociously cold night in a snow blizzard<<<

Are there different kinds of blizzards?

And just speaking from Alaska, where right now the temperature is -31 C (-23.9 F), I’d say -11 C is cold for a child, so I’m glad she’s all right. Usually, though, if I see that the temp outside is 12 F (-11 C), I go out with the jacket, not the parka.

Art Bell would have speculated: Maybe that “Dog” was a Spirit in disguise.

If -11 is a One Dog Night, it makes you wonder how cold it has to get to be a Three Dog Night…

Dogs are great…

But let’s be honest…it was her government mandated mask which saved her.

[said in thick Russian accent] In good old Soviet days, girl needed dog to lick her to keep cool at -11°C. New Russian children are weak.

We’ll never know what our “Guardian Angel” looks like until
he/she shows up. That 10 year girl had a “Guardian Angel” that showed up!

I wonder how often God gives a positive response to our prayers. We can find out through our FReepers as they make payer requests. God has a very limited vocabulary — NO.

This is the mentality of the people who Biden thinks are going to be affected by a few more sanctions.

She has the toughness of those female snipers who terrorized the nazi invaders during WWII. She probably kept the dog warm and both survived.

Three times I bent the Lord’s ear in prayer and three times He gave me a resounding prayers answered.

I ask for my husband, my children, and a job that launched a whole new career.

My husband and I are coming up on 30 years and still madly in love, I have three truly wonderful kids, and I make a comfortable living.

He’s turned down a few of my requests, but it was usually because He needed me to move in a different direction.

God is good.

Do you wear mukluks? I found canvas mukluks to be warmest when I served in Galena, AK in 1958 at the Yukon. Warm feet are a must.

Man, I could have used you in 1965 and my life would have been infinitely happier.
