Dog survives 9 months through winter in the rugged Idaho mountains

When your pet goes missing for one sleepless night, it can feel like an eternity, now imagine 288 nights. That's exactly what happened to Darwin and Cindy Cameron when their dog Mo went missing.

"There isn't a day that didn't go by that we didn't think about Mo, knowing she's up in the mountains and how she's doing," said Cindy Cameron.

Mo's story began during a hunting trip in September when she managed to get loose from the family camper and disappeared.

"We pretty much searched night and day for the first four weeks," said Darwin.

A widely circulated Facebook post yielded sightings of Mo, but no one could catch her.

"She wasn't one to go to strangers so we knew that she just wouldn't get into a vehicle or go with someone," said Cindy.

She has endured far, far too much for anyone to take that chance with her ever again.
