'Hero' Dog Guards Dead Owner's Body
(Aug. 11) -- An Australian dog stayed by his owner's body for two days after a tragic car accident, drawing search parties to the scene. Henry Drew, 53, died Friday when his car ran off the highway near Curra, Australia, the Courier Mail reported. His dog, Moja, was thrown from the car but survived the crash. When Drew did not respond to his wife's phone calls Friday afternoon, she alerted authorities. Rescue teams began searching but had little luck narrowing down an area where Drew might have disappeared. Meanwhile, Moja had stayed at the crash site, with Drew's body. A woman at a farmhouse nearby heard insistent barking Saturday and, when she went to investigate, found the dog and Drew in the dense brush. Moja is "obviously a hero," Jenny Drew, the victim's wife, told the Courier Mail. "If it weren't for Moja, we'd still be looking," she said.
