Here's an amazing story of a dog that survived an avalanche that tragically killed his owner. Pretty incredible stuff, and testament to a dog's innate will to live.

From this story on the Herald Tribune:

A dog that was feared dead after he was swept away in a weekend avalanche that killed his owner showed up four days later at the Montana motel where his owners had stayed the night before going backcountry skiing. Search and rescue team member Bill Whittle said he was "positive" that the Welsh corgi ˜ named Ole ˜ had been buried in Saturday's avalanche. "The avalanche guys were up there on Monday investigating and they were looking for the dog too and never seen any signs," he said.
