シベリア地方のタイガ（針葉樹林帯）に迷いこんだ3歳の少女が、11日間行方不明になったが、一緒にいた犬のおかげで無事に救助された。

「シベリアン・タイムズ」の記事によると、ロシア連邦サハ共和国北東部に住む3歳7カ月のカリナ・チキトヴァちゃんは、近くの村に出かけた父親の後を追って荒野にさまよい出てしまった。

母親のほうは、カリナちゃんが父親と一緒に出かけたと思い込んでいたので、しばらく失踪に気がつかなかったという。

捜索隊が周囲の森を広い範囲で探したが、見つけることができなかった（文末の動画で、捜索の様子を紹介）。けれども9日目に、カリナちゃんと一緒にいた犬のキラチャン（「ちび」という意味）が村に戻ってきた。

「トロント・サン」紙の記事によれば、犬の後をついて行った捜索隊は、草むらの中の隠れ家でカリナちゃんを見つけた。彼女は「驚くほど元気」だったという。

カリナちゃんは野生のベリーや川の水を飲んで過ごしたようで、幸いなことにクマやオオカミにも遭遇しなかった模様だ。気温が下がる夜には、犬のキラチャンがカリナちゃんと一緒に寝て、からだを温めてくれていたと考えられている。

10 Brave Puppies
Harper (01 of04)

Harper was found in a garbage bag. \n\nAn illegal dog peddler in Sanford, Fla., had stuffed him in there MSNBC reported. \n\nWhen shelter workers finally retrieved the poor pup in 2011, he was discovered to be so deformed that that he couldn\'t walk or hold up his head.\n\nHarper had been born with a condition commonly known as \"swimmer puppy disorder\" and most dogs afflicted with it don\'t survive. Euthanasia seemed to be the only humane option.\n\nHowever, thanks to love and dedication of Erica Daniel of Dolly\'s Foundation (a rescue and rehabilitation center for dogs), Harper, who underwent hydrotherapy, is alive and well -- and incredibly, he\'s back on his feet.\n\n\"She\'s a walking miracle. She\'s a real testament to a dog\'s determination to get up and just go,\" Bev McCartt, a hydrotherapy specialist who worked with Harper, told MSNBC. \n\nFor more on Harper\'s miracle recovery, click here to read Erica Daniel\'s blog and here to see more pictures of Harper and Dolly Foundation\'s other dogs.\n\n (credit:Dolly\'s Foundation/Facebook)

Hen, a 4-month-old pit bull puppy risked his life to save his owner\'s pregnant daughter when he, against all natural instincts, ran back into a burning house, ABC reports. \r\n\r\nHen and his owner, Demetric McCaulley, had made it out safely when McCaulley\'s house had caught on fire. \r\n\r\nBut the moment he noticed that Kadejah -- McCaulley\'s pregnant daughter -- was not outside, Hen ran back in. \r\n\r\nFirefighters found Hen under a table in the kitchen. He suffered severe burns but is recovering well. \r\n\r\n\"It\'s heartbreaking what he is going through just to try and save my life,\" Kadejah, who made it out of the house safely, said. \r\n\r\nTo read more on Hen, click here.

A big puppy risked his life to protect his owner during last year\'s Oklahoma tornadoes. \r\n\r\nAs the tornado approached her home in Piedmont, Okla. last year, Leanne Sneed was terrified. \r\n\r\nThe tornado would end up destroying her house, but Sneed survived -- without a scratch, KOCO reports. \r\n\r\nGary Sneed, her husband, said that Bear -- the couples\' 160-pound puppy -- could sense his wife\'s fear and laid down on top of her, completely shielding her body. Luckily, neither was hurt. \r\n\r\nTo watch a video about Bear, click here. (credit:KOCO)

The sheer pluck of a four-month-old Chihuahua/Pinscher mix named Felipe foiled a robbery last month when two thieves broke into the Happy Living Foster Home in Keizer, Ore., the Statesman Journal reports. \r\n\r\nThe puppy\'s barking alerted residents to the intrusion, which led to arrests of the two robbers.\r\n\r\n\"Felipe is the hero,\" his owner, Ramona Villalpando, said.\r\n\r\nWatch a video about Felipe here.
