Chihuahua Helps Rescue Owner After 26-Foot Fall Into Swiss Glacier Crevasse

A hiker who plunged 26 feet into a crevasse on Switzerland's Fee Glacier was dramatically rescued thanks to his loyal Chihuahua, which alerted rescuers to his location. After the man used a walkie-talkie to call for help, rescue teams struggled to find him due to the nearly invisible hole in the glacier. The breakthrough came when rescuers spotted the Chihuahua sitting steadfastly next to the crevasse, allowing them to pinpoint the accident site. The dog remained by the edge throughout the rescue, closely observing the operation, and both the hiker and his dog were airlifted to a nearby hospital. Air Zermatt, the rescue service, called the Chihuahua a 'four-legged hero' whose actions were crucial to the successful rescue. The incident is being celebrated as an extraordinary example of animal loyalty and intelligence in life-threatening situations.
