A search party located the body of a man who had gone missing in California. He was with his dog at the time, and the loyal friend (who survived) had refused to leave his side for two days before they were found.

The man, David Deshon, is survived by his daughter Shona, who told CBS Sacramento she believes her 69-year-old father tried to hike home to Foresthill after his car got stuck in a snowstorm; Deshon became stranded on the road and passed away.
