A Canadian woman who went missing during a blizzard last week has been found alive, buried in 23in (58cm) of snow.
Rescuers were shocked to find Donna Molnar, of Ancaster, west of Toronto, still conscious after she spent three days outside in freezing temperatures.
Ms Molnar, 55, vanished on Friday after her car became stuck in a snowy field, and is now being treated in hospital.
Police dog Ace and his handler Ray Lau have been credited with the find.
"When I came up to her she was covered in snow, just her face and her neckline were exposed," rescuer Ray Lau said. "I was surprised she was alive."
Mr Lau found Ms Molnar, just a few hundred yards away from her four wheel drive car, wearing little more than a winter jacket and suffering from hypothermia. Police credited the insulating effect of the snow with keeping her alive.
