LouLou, a poodle-husky mix, was alone in the Chugach mountains for 50 hours. More than 20 volunteers, including helicopter pilots, drone operators, and a handler with a scent dog, used her AirTag signal to find her standing in the snow near Pepper Peak. She came home with a broken toe and a lost tooth.
Both of the people who had been hiking with her survived. The search is the story: neighbors and pilots kept looking until the signal and the scent dog put them on the same slope as the dog.
