Dog lost for four months found alive on snowy hillside, reunited with owner
When Ricardo Rodriguez evacuated from the Caldor Fire in early September, he wasn't sure if he'd ever see his dog again. Rodriguez was on a camping trip in the Lake Tahoe area with four of his friends and his 3-year-old pitbull-mix, Russ.
Russ ran away in late August after getting startled by someone, Rodriguez told CNN. He and his friends spent hours looking for Russ and called local shelters to report him missing. As the days went on, the fires started and engulfed the area and the community was mandated to evacuate, forcing Rodriguez to leave without Russ.

Flash forward to December 16 when a skier near Twin Peaks, located west of South Lake Tahoe, noticed a dog bundled up in the snow near a tree.
El Dorado County Animal Services Officer Kyle Shumaker was unable to reach the dog, so Wendy Jones, founder and executive director of Tahoe PAWS & TLC 4 Furry Friends, was notified.
