Deaf hiker falls 700 feet, but when rescuers finally find her, she isn’t alone

June 16, 2026 by admin

Since she had fallen so far, Amelia had no idea where she was. She was lost in an unfamiliar landscape and was wondering what she could do.

Freezing and with over 24 hours having passed since her fall, Amelia knew that she was in trouble.

But soon after, something happened that made Amelie’s heart jump.

In the distance, she saw what looked like a white wolf. Amelia was worried because she knew how wolves acted around people.

But when the white canine came closer, Amelie saw that it was wearing a collar.

The husky, whose name is Nanook, had “guide” written on his collar and was actually a trail guide dog that worked on the mountain finding lost hikers and bringing them back to the trail. Talk about finding the right dog at the right time!

Now Nanook had found Amelia and had a new mission.

Nanook helped Amelia find the trail again and stayed with her all night to make sure she wasn’t alone.

The next day, Amelia tried to cross a river, but the strong currents pulled her underwater.

Again, Nanook was right there for her. He jumped in, grabbed the strap on her backpack and pulled her out of the cold glacier water.

Amelia had a GPS transmitter so she could send a signal if anything happened, and she finally decided to press it.

The signal was picked up by the local rescue service, who sent a helicopter to find her.
