Blind dog rescued in Alaska after being lost for 2 weeks

A blind dog who wandered away from her Ester, Alaska, home during a cold snap has been reunited with her owner.

The 11-year-old Labrador retriever named Madera ventured away from home on Feb. 6, when the temperature dipped to 40 degrees below zero.

Her owner, Ed Davis, said he didn’t expect to find her alive. “My best hope was to walk those trails and look for a track that might be hers,” he said. “My best hope was to find a frozen dog.”

A lovely story, a dog could just about survive for two weeks without food but she would have needed a good supply of clean water, eating snow (which our dogs used to do) is a suitable alternative and she must have done that plus found somewhere sheltered from the wind.

Poor little thing I am surprised though if she was only half a mile from home that she didn't manage to get home using her nose.
I would guess at 11 she might have a degree on CCD too so might have been confused.
