Elderly dog helps save girl lost in Australian bush


Image

Australian police have praised a dog for remaining with a three-year-old girl as she spent a night lost in bushland.

The girl, Aurora, had been the subject of a large search after she wandered away from her home in Queensland.

She was followed by her family's 17-year-old cattle dog, Max, who is partially deaf and blind.

The dog stayed with the girl for 16 hours before relatives found them on a hillside on Saturday morning.

Aurora's grandmother, Leisa Marie Bennett, said she had heard the girl call out from the location, about 2km (1.2 miles) from home.

"I shot up the mountain and when I came to the top, the dog came to me and led me straight to her," she told the Australian Broadcasting Corp.

Relatives said Aurora had taken shelter with the dog under a rock as temperatures dipped to 15C (59F). She suffered only minor cuts.

More than 100 emergency workers and volunteers had taken part in the search in Queensland's Southern Downs.

Police praised Max's actions, and named him an honorary police dog.

"At three years old, I would imagine that the young child would be very scared and frightened through the night and very cold," Insp Craig Berry said.

"You can hope the dog was good company for the child and kept her warm. It's a positive outcome."...

Yeah, that is a beautiful story.

In a somewhat related way, there was a very sad story today. An 11 year old boy with severe autism wandered off from his carer last night. He was found two hours later dead after being hit by a train. :(

I'd bet JimC's current G&T in his hand that that has been posted in this thread before. At the very least I or someone else posted it in the forum somewhere. Hermit's search fu is getting sloppy... :nono:

:hehe: That's why I was happy to list it as my side of the bet. I knew with 99.9% certainty that it existed..

Has too. Since you made a new rule a couple of days ago, it's my turn now: Really, really good clips, like every single one I post, may be repeated three months or more after their previous posting.

It's not a rule I invented. I'm just stating the lay of the universe. :tea:
