"The family found a forest road next to a river bank and huddled together with their dog, a pit bull-terrier mix."

Ominously, there's no further word on the dog.

searchers took their dog to the county animal shelter, where she will stay until the family can pick her up.

Whew!

they could have lived days more w/o food, as long as there was plenty of fresh water (there was). but the dumbass dirtbags were considering eating the poor dog. i guess they thought they were the Donner party.

(CBS/AP) GOLD BEACH, Ore. - Three mushroom pickers lost for six nights in the rugged forest of southwest Oregon with no food used the screen on their dead cell phone and the blade of a sheath knife to flash a signal at the helicopter pilot who found them.

Dan Conne said Sunday from his hospital bed that he, his wife and son spent the night huddled in a hollow log with nothing to eat. They considered eating their pit bull, Jesse, for food.

"She's that good a dog, she'd have done it, too," Conne said.
