Ace, the Dutch shepherd rescue dog.

A Canadian woman who went grocery shopping last week during a blizzard disappeared and was feared dead. A snowstorm battered the rural Ontario countryside where Donna Molnar, 55, lived.  

Not expecting to find her alive, searchers continued searching for the woman after finding her abandoned van. Ace, a search-and-rescue dog was with the team of searchers. 

"All of a sudden, Ace bolted off," one rescue team member recalled. "He stopped and looked down at the snow and barked, barked, barked."

Ace had found Donna, almost completely buried in snow, but conscious. The snow had helped trap her body heat and keep her alive for several days in brutally icy conditions.

Ace, a Dutch shepherd who himself was rescued from a bad home, was rewarded with a nice, juicy T-bone steak. 

Good job, Ace!
