In a stunning tale of survival, Oregon police say Gregory Randolph, 73, and his dogs miraculously survived after being stranded in an Oregon desert.
After hiking for four days, the 73-year-old was 14 miles from his Jeep, dehydrated and sunburned.In a stunning tale of survival, state police said Wednesday that Randolph and his two dogs miraculously survived after being stranded in the remote Oregon desert for days – with the heroic help of Quinones.
Quinones knew the man was in danger. “He was conscious, but not responding,” the biker told the Oregonian. Lacking cell service in the remote area, he pressed the SOS button on his GPS and waited with the man for authorities to arrive.Quinones told the AP that as he waited an hour for an ambulance, Randolph's Shih Tzu appeared from the brush, and he fed the dog peanut butter.
Two days later, state police found Randolph's Jeep stuck off the road and his second dog, Buddy, waiting nearby. Lake County Deputy Buck Maganzini said Buddy probably survived drinking water from mud puddles around the car. Randolph told the deputy he wanted to explore a new area but got stuck off-roading. He was 40 miles from the nearest town, near Guano Creek Slough, Maganzini said.
