Man's Best Friend


Mt. Hood rescuers say that the dog saved the climbers lives. According to news reports, ""The dog probably saved their lives" by lying across them during the cold night, said Erik Brom, a member of the Portland Mountain Rescue team. He described the wind in the canyon as "hellacious." One of the female climbers were taken to a Portland hospital for treatment due to a head injury and the other two members were taken back to a lodge to be reunited with other members of the team. The climbers were found on Monday morning in White River Canon. For this and other news stories please go to http://www.foxnews.com/ or http://www.cnn.com/.
