What Smith and Nichols didn't know at the time was that the dog, whose name is Chloe, had actually survived for six long weeks in that harsh setting. The 14-year-old dog had run off while on a walk with her owner near Mt. Bross in mid-August. Normally, she's able to make her own way back home, but this time she hadn't been seen since.
Her family was heartbroken. After weeks of searching for her to no avail, they had come to believe that Chloe had perished.

Despite her age and the inhospitable surroundings, Chloe was alive — though weighing just 26 pounds, down from 90. Smith and Nichols' first order of business was to get her something to eat, and to spread the word that she'd been found.
Soon, the exhausted dog's ordeal of being missing would truly come to an end.

Chloe's family got notice so quickly that she'd been rescued, they were able to meet Smith and Nichols where they'd taken her to get food.
