Rescuers retrieved a 67-year-old hiker who'd gone into the mountains of New Mexico and become lost. He spent a week in the cold temperatures, and when they found him they say his 3-year-old lab Zulu was sitting on his chest to keep him warm. As the hiker recovers from hypothermia, dehydration and his health slowly improves, even more searchers have jumped in to help find his dog. The rescuers say Zulu bolted as soon as they approached the downed hiker.

This afternoon an animal rescue group will play recordings of the dog's owner's voice, and they're stuffing live traps with her roasted chicken to try to get the animal to come home. It seems the story has garnered Arizona media attention on the scale of a panda birth in the zoo, and now there's also a reward for $2,700 if you find the animal. Too bad people can't run around and be cute; we might be more interested in finding them when they get lost.
