Deaf hiker falls 700 feet, but when rescuers finally find her, she isn’t alone
Alaska State Troopers were called out to her location and delivered her to safety, with Nanook by her side.
Although the rescuers flew her home, she claims that Nanook is her true hero.
“The dog was a real help,” police chief Eric Olsen told News.com. “He’s Alaska’s version of Lassie.”
Nanook was the hero of the day, and it appears that this wasn’t the first time the heroic dog had helped someone on the mountain.
