Maine Woman Survives Four Days in Woods Thanks to Loyal Dog

Pamela Helmstadter was rescued after her dog kept her warm, while her husband was found deceased nearby.

Pamela and John Helmstadter, aged 72 and 82, went missing during a walk in the woods near their home in Alexander, Maine.
John fell and was unable to get up, prompting Pamela to search for help, but she became disoriented and lost.
Lucy, their black lab, stayed with Pamela, lying on her chest to keep her warm during nights with freezing temperatures.
Pamela was found with severe hypothermia but alive, thanks to Lucy's protective behavior, while John was found dead 200 yards away.
Authorities were alerted by a neighbor who noticed a package left on their porch and one of the couple's dogs returning home alone.
