Faithful even after the end.

A ‘hero’ dog has been found next to the body of his elderly owner who went missing while hiking in the US two months ago.

Rich Moore, 71, of Pagosa Spring, Colorado, had been hiking up the 12,500-foot mountain on August 19, but never returned home, according to Fox News.

Search-and-rescue crews dropped in by helicopter and combed through the forests just below the peak, then moved toward the trailhead, where they found his car, the outlet reported.

But they couldn’t find the man — even though they spent more than 2,000 hours searching for him, reports said.

That was until about two weeks ago, on October 30, when a hunter stumbled across Mr Moore’s corpse more than two miles east of the summit — along with his jack russell terrier, Finny, the New York Postreports.

Chihuahua causes early morning crash in Tulsa, driver and dog expected to fully recover

According to the driver, the Chihuahua jumped into his lap while he was driving which caused him to impact a nearby power pole.

When officers arrived on the scene, the driver was complaining of chest pain and the Chihuahua was found unresponsive on the floorboard of the car.

Paramedics began treating a laceration found on the Chihuahua when the dog regained consciousness.

The driver and the Chihuahua were taken to the hospital where both are expected to make a full recovery.

... Very silly.

Hope it wasn't using its teeth on him there...


Drive safely?
