Overview
- The Lane County Sheriff's Office reported Karen Joyce Davis missing on Dec. 29 after she left for a walk with her blue heeler, Cami, in Elmira, Oregon.
- Authorities later confirmed she was found in rough terrain following a multi-hour search as temperatures hovered near freezing.
- Search volunteer Katie Sciotto said she called out "Cami" and heard a faint bark about 300 yards away that directed the team to Davis.
- Rescuers treated Davis for hypothermia at the scene, carried her out of the woods, and transported her to a local hospital.
- Officials credited Cami for keeping Davis warm and signaling rescuers, and shared photos of the dog resting on her as Lane Fire Authority and local residents assisted.
