Dog buried alive under snow

An elderly Border collie was saved by his whimpering after he literally was buried under the masses of snow that fell over southern Norway last week.

The 11-year-old dog, named Bonzo, disappeared from his family's home last Tuesday. Days went by, with no sign of him.

A week later, the telephone rang and a woman said she'd heard some whimpering from a nearby park.
They found the dog under the snow. He was in surprisingly good shape, but almost certainly would have perished if he hadn't been found.
