A sad story but at least the dog has been rescued.

Archive: https://archive.today/ds50I

From the post: "A tiny Jack Russell terrier survived in the Colorado mountains for more than 10 weeks after her owner died of hypothermia, despite losing half her body weight, a rescuer said.

Richard Moore of Pagosa Springs, Colorado, and his 12-pound dog Finney had set out to climb Blackhead Peak east of the town on Aug. 19, but never returned home, the Archuleta County Sheriff’s Office said."

"When a hunter came upon the 71-year-old's body in the San Juan Mountains on Oct. 30, Finney was still there with him, despite being down to just 6 pounds, VanneBrightyn said Tuesday."

An elderly rancher’s truck broke down in a remote area of southern Arizona some years back, too old to walk for help he stayed put hoping I’m sure someone would eventually come along. No one did for weeks. They found his body near his truck under the shade of a palo verde tree. Along side of him was the body his lil’ Jack Russell. Sweet pups those Jacks.
