On a hiking excursion, an Irish family loses their dog and mourns her after a failed search.

But the bitch miraculously manages to survive two weeks in the icy mountains.

Ireland - I think a lot of luck came together when Harley the dog was found alive in the frosty Wicklow Mountains.

Through a chance encounter, the missing bitch was returned to her owner.

It all started two weeks earlier when Erina O'Shea Goetelen went on a hike with her family and the two bitches Harley and Neesha in the Irish Wicklow Mountains.

But the family did not know that this excursion towards Lugnaquilla would end sadly.

Bitch Harley: Two weeks alone in the mountains

The snow had just fallen and the two dogs were very tempting to play in it.

Her family let her go and untied the dogs from their leashes so they could frolic in the snow.

But the two did not come back, as

.

The two bitches eagerly ran after a deer.

“My husband and two children tried to run after them, but they were too fast.

Then they lost sight of them in the direction of the forest, ”the owner explained according to

theanimalrescuesite.com

.

So the family waited first and hoped that the two bitches would run back to the car - but that didn't happen.

Then the family came up with the idea of ​​using a drone for the search.

And it helped: bitch Neesha could be found.

There was no trace of Harley.

Two weeks passed and the dog's family had already given up hope.

Because in the icy rocky landscape the Labrador bitch was on her own and could hardly survive.

Then what happened that no one would have thought possible.

The couple Jean-Francois Bonnet and Ciara Nolan were hiking in the same area as the Goetelen family before.

They made it to the summit plateau and were overwhelmed when they discovered a lonely dog ​​there.

It was Harley.

“I couldn't stop crying when we found her.

They couldn't even stand, she was so weak, ”said Nolan.

Wanderer: bitch was "petrified and ice cold"

They immediately decided to take the dog downstairs before it was too late for the animal.

“It was petrified and freezing.

She didn't even have the strength to bark or stand, ”said Nolan.

Because the bitch was too weak to run, the couple covered the animal with their spare clothes and carried her down the mountain for a full five hours through icy and slippery terrain.

At home they warmed the old dog and gave her food.

They also called an animal rescue organization to help them find Harley's family.

During those two tough weeks, the bitch lost a third of her body weight and developed dermatitis, according to independent.co.uk.

However, Harley's condition is improving day by day.
