FAIRBANKS, Alaska -- A blind dog who wandered away from her home during a cold snap has been reunited with her owner. The 11-year-old Labrador retriever named Madera ventured away from home Feb. 6, when the temperature dipped to 40 degrees below zero. Her owner, Ed Davis, said he didn't expect to find her alive. A man riding a bike found Madera in the woods last week, about a half-mile from the Davis' home. Davis said his dog lost 14 pounds but was healthy.
