When 3 year old Victoria was lost on a freezing night in Arizona, the family dog, Blue, kept her warm and safe:
“She wasn’t moving when we first came upon her,” Uhl said. “She was kind of just looking face-down on the ground.”
She rose to her knees next. The helicopter landed about 50 yards away, and Tarr, the medic, approached the girl.
At first, Blue seemed apprehensive, as if he was protecting Victoria. The girl smiled, and Blue’s mood changed.
“I think once the dog realized we were there to help them out, he was very excited,” Uhl said. “He ran around while the medic tended to the little girl, and when it was time to go, he jumped right into the helicopter and was ready to go.”
