Man's best friend
Sydney - A mongrel has proven that dogs are really man's best friend, when he
helped rescuers find the body of his owner who was killed in a car crash in Australia.
Moja, a small mixed breed, was in the truck with his owner Henry Drew when it
crashed off a highway in Queensland and landed in dense shrubs.
The animal sat by Drew's body, which was hidden by trees, barking incessantly for
two days until a farmer went to investigate the cause of the noise.
"If it were not for the man's dog, he may not have been found for some time
because his truck was completely covered by trees and our helicopter couldn't see it." a
rescuer said.
Drew had been reported missing by his wife after he did not answer his mobile
phone. Rescue helicopters worked with police to search for him until the farmer called.
