A Colorado hiker who was missing for months was found dead in late October, but his 14-year-old Jack Russell terrier was found alive and waiting by the hiker’s side, according to reports from the area.

A hunter came across the body of 71-year-old Rich Moore in the Lower Blanco drainage basin on Oct. 30, according to reporting by 9News in Colorado. And Moore’s white Jack Russell terrier, Finney, was found alive nearby.

Sounds like an odd headline with the dead hiker being a secondary item, but I suppose the hiker was reported in October and this is just a follow-up on the dog.

The dude went missing in August. The dog must have found a lot of squirrels to eat, at 14 years old no less.
