Mandy Iworrigan of Gambell, Alaska was with family visiting nearby Savoogna when she lost both of her family dogs, Nanuq and Starlight.
While Starlight returned to the family within just a few weeks, Nanuq appeared to be lost forever—that is, until Iworrigan’s dad logged onto Facebook to find people in Wales, Alaska, 150 miles from Savoogna, posting photos of what appeared to be a lost dog who looked just like their beloved Nanuq. Iworrigan told the Associated Press.
