Collies help save lost shepherd

A shepherd missing overnight on a Galloway farm has been saved by his two collies, who stayed with him after he collapsed while checking his sheep.

The crew of a Royal Navy helicopter searching for missing Jim Campbell, 59, spotted one of his collies running around near where he had collapsed.

The second dog was lying beside him and had kept him warm during the night.

The man, from Balmaclellan near Castle Douglas, was taken to hospital in Ayr suffering from the effects of cold.
