21-year-old Amelia Milling was hiking in Alaska when she slipped and fell. Battered and bruised, she soon realized that she was lost.
However, seemingly out of nowhere, a husky appeared and guided back onto the main path.
Milling and Nanook the husky hiked together for a few more kilometers, but Milling slipped and fell into a freezing river she was attempting to cross.
She knew she had to remove her backpack to stay afloat.
“I was really struggling to breathe,” she said. “My whole body was numb.”
She was unable to reach and hold on to a branch, and that’s when Nanook came to her rescue yet again. The husky jumped into the freezing waters, grabbed Milling’s backpack in her mouth, and paddled Milling to dry land.
Milling used her satellite phone to call for help, and the two were rescued the following day by Alaska state troopers.
