Dog Survives Car Crash, Walks 4 Miles to Alert Humans and Save the Driver

The Associated Press reports that a mixed human/canine family recently camped in the wooded mountains of Baker County, Oregon. One of the men was driving along a nearby road when his truck crashed and rolled down into a steep ravine. Four dogs were inside the truck, one of whom walked four miles to the campsite to alert his packmates of the accident. What a good boy!

In an authentic Lassie moment, he led the family to site of the crash. US Forest Service rescue workers then extracted the man from the scene using a complex rope system, photos of which you can see here. He was airlifted to the hospital. The man and all four dogs survived the accident.
