A woman with dementia who became lost in the Utah mountains amid severe heat last month was found safe, thanks to her dog staying by her side and barking over multiple days.

On June 24, the woman went out to walk her dog near her familys cabin in the states Emery County, local news station KTVX reported on Friday. When she didnt come back, her family searched for her all night before contacting authorities in the morning.

Search teams were initially unable to find the woman, as daytime temperatures soared to near 100 degrees. Then, at about 3:30 a.m., conservation officer James Thomas and search dog Kip heard the sound of another dog barking, according to a social media post from the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources.
