This is awesome. B ninety three Awesome Sauce. Start your
day on a positive note. Awesome Sauce six to ten

Awesome Sauce proves that size really means nothing when it
comes to loyalty. Over the fourth of July weekend, a
man was hiking across the Free Glacier in southern Switzerland.

(00:25):
Oh very fancy. Yeah, and he took his long haired
Chihuahua with him, and that is when things took kind
of a terrifying turn. He stepped on a snowbridge that
gave way beneath him, and he fell twenty six feet
into a hidden crevice that, in quickstand is like two

(00:46):
of my random fears, Like those two things. I don't
know why, but that's crazy. Did that actually happened? Fair?
This would be so scary. Yeah, here's where things get
pretty incredible. Though. The man managed to send a distress
signal using his race, so he was prepared for something
like this to happen, which definitely helped. When the rescue
team arrived, though they couldn't find him, no sign of him,

(01:11):
just miles of snow and ice. The air Zermat helicopter
team scanned the landscape but couldn't spot the crevice until
someone noticed a little movement the right beside the narrow
hole in the ice. The guy's chihuahua was standing perfectly
still right above where he had fallen, not barking, not panicking,

(01:36):
just waiting, watching, guarding. The tiny dog was key. Rescuers
honed in, repelled down, and then safely pulled the man out,
and the whole time the little chihuahua didn't move. He
even tracked the rescuer's movements calmly, as if making sure
you guys doing this right air. Zermat later said the

(01:59):
chihuahua may have literally saved his owner's life. So if
you need a reason to believe in man's best friend
or person's best friend, yeah, and a little bit of
loyalty this morning, here it is a long haired chihuahua
alone on a glacier, saving the day with nothing but
composure and heart. I love that someone. We don't just

(02:19):
I'm saying this all the time. We don't deserve dogs,
don't That's amazing. Give your dog a hug today, and
don't underestimate the tiny ones. They can save your life.
