Story summary

A beloved dog named LouLou, a 4-year-old huskydoodle, was miraculously found alive more than 50 hours after being separated from her owner during an avalanche in Chugach State Park near Eklutna Lake outside of Anchorage, Alaska. The incident occurred when LouLou's owner, Brian, and his hiking partner were injured but rescued without the dog. Lauren Padawer, LouLou’s other owner and Brian’s partner, initiated a search team that eventually used an AirTag to locate LouLou. After receiving the ping from the device, Amanda Barker and Dave Beckett flew in a helicopter as close as possible before manually climbing through several feet of snow for 20 minutes to reach LouLou. This rescue effort involved multiple ground teams and military pararescue personnel over two days.
