Loyal Dog Survives 10 Weeks in Colorado Mountains After Owner's Death

Finney, the Jack Russell terrier, lost half her body weight while staying by her deceased owner's side, surviving by hunting small animals and avoiding predators.

Richard Moore, a 71-year-old hiker from Colorado, died of hypothermia during a hike to Blackhead Peak in the San Juan Mountains with his Jack Russell terrier, Finney, on August 19.
Moore's body was discovered by a hunter on October 30, over 10 weeks after he went missing, with Finney still by his side.
Finney, who had lost half her body weight and was down to just six pounds, is believed to have survived by hunting small animals and avoiding larger predators.
Following a veterinary checkup, Finney was returned to Moore's family.
This marks at least the third time a dog has been found alive next to a hiker's body since last year.
