The dog that led searchers to a missing autistic boy in Nova Scotia was inducted into the Purina Animal Hall of Fame on Monday.

The disappearance of seven-year-old James Delorey in December 2009 gripped the country.

The boy had wandered away from his family home at South Bar, near Sydney, N.S., along with his mixed-breed dog, Chance.

Delorey had no jacket, and shortly after his disappearance a snowstorm hit the region.

Hundreds of searchers spent two days combing woods near the region but found no trace of the missing boy.

Then Chance emerged from the woods leaving a trail in the snow that led to James Delorey.

The boy was unconscious but alive. There was a deep impression in the snow beside him where Chance had huddled with the boy to keep him warm.

The boy died in hospital the day after his rescue.

=(

WTF HOW IS THIS HEARTWARMING

The dog part :)

Maybe if you took out the part where a kid dies.

Well, that's the sad part, hence the title sad and heartwarming :)

The dog stayed with the kid trying to keep him warm... 

No, this is NOT heartwarming...

***reads the beggining***

this isn't sad, it's happy


***reads the last sentence***


I see why it was sad
