A Jack Russell terrier who stayed with the body of her owner for 10 weeks after the elderly man died while hiking has been found, rescued, and reunited with her family.

Three-year-old terrier, Finney, was found next to the body of her owner, 71-year-old Richard Moore of Pagosa Springs, Colorado, on Oct. 30, after an intensive 2,100-hour manhunt by Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control (CDFPC), Archuleta County Sheriff’s Office, and local search and rescue.
