As Aurora and her dog, Max, set out for their daily walk, they couldn’t have predicted the events to come. A storm rolled in, and Aurora became lost in the rough terrain. But she knew her trusty companion was far from leaving her side.
While Aurora spent a chilly and frightening night alone in the desert, Max stayed by her side to keep her warm and comforted. His barking alerted search parties in the morning, leading them straight to Aurora’s location.
Throughout her journey, Aurora was not harmed; she even said Max had been watching over her this entire time. The dog received the honorary title of a police dog for his efforts.
One of the men who found Aurora gave reporters more information about the search. He stated that there are a lot of hills by her house, and it’s not somewhere people take walks often. Even two kilometers, which is how far she walked, is tough to hike in this area because of all the slopes and overgrown bushes.
Aurora’s grandmother didn’t give up hope and helped the rescuers. She kept calling out until she heard an answer. The rescuers thanked Max for leading them to Aurora when they first saw him.
The young girl was frightened when tears of joy ran down her family’s faces as they welcomed her back home, but they quickly reassured her that everything was okay.
The family was thrilled to see their dog, Max, again. Even though he is now 17 years old and cannot hear or see well, he remains fiercely loyal to the whole family but more so to Aurora. The night after the storm had passed, Aurora safely returned home after 17 hours lost in the harsh Australian wilderness, thanks to Max’s loyalty and bravery.
