A lucky rottie!

Dog survives two weeks on fells

Gemma was in a relatively good condition when she was found
A dog missing on the Lake District fells for two weeks has been found by a mountain rescue team answering a routine call out.

"Gemma" was discovered when the Wasdale team were called out to assist three people lost on Scafell Pike.

The Rottweiler had attached herself to their two dogs, and the group initially thought she belonged to the rescuers.

However, on arrival the team realised she belonged to a couple from Leicester who had earlier reported her missing.

Once informed her delighted owners immediately began the long drive from their home to be reunited with Gemma.

When their pet disappeared, while on a walking trip, they had sent out emails to local rescue teams asking them to look out for her.

Iestyn Friend, leader of the Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team, said: "I don't know what she had been doing but she was fit and healthy.

"She had a mark around her leg as if she'd been trapped in some wire, or a snare, but was in a very good way otherwise."

Great story, I've jst had a look and their are pics of her on the Wasdale Mountain Rescue site under callouts! She's a lovely girl, only a youngster..

Thank goodness she had the wit to follow the other two dogs, poor thing. Lovely to hear she's now home safe.
