Sophie, a 13-year-old yellow Labrador retriever, went out with her family who were plowing and shoveling, where she wandered off and hadn’t come back. As the days went on and temperatures plummeted to record lows, the family reportedly became disheartened.
The family continued searching on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. They had begun to lose hope until Sophie’s head was spotted poking out from the snow on Tuesday morning, just down the road from their home. Sophie had been completely buried and stuck in a yard in an area the family had already checked.
Sophie spent five days out in extreme cold and winds. The family thanked a man who he says used a tractor to plow a path to Sophie and rescue her.
Sophie was taken to a veterinarian and is OK. “No frostbite, lost 5 pounds, hungry and tired,” he wrote. “Blood work and X-rays all showed a healthy girl.”
The family called the discovery of Sophie a “miracle.”
