Another story of a person saved by their dog

ByRichard Nissen Reading Time: 1 minute

The story is about a three years old girl lost in Siberia, she was with the family dog and a few days later the dog showed up at the home and they thought that the little girl would die because of the cold. But the dog guided the family to the girl that was rescued in rather good condition. Our deputy editor Antonio Nafarrate says that all animals have a built-in GPS so that they can find their way home.
