Ace is a star!!!!
The rescue, thanks to Ace!!!
Here is a great story for the holidays!!! Last Friday a 55 year old woman left her home in outside of Toronto, Canada to get some baking supplies. The holidays are near and I’m sure that Donna Molnar was in the mood for some baking as a Canadian snow fell. Canadians are tough and rugged people, so I’m sure going out in a snow storm does not illicit the panic that it does for many of us in the states. Donna’s van was found abandoned late the next day on a rural road wind swept from the recent storm. Of course the police were called in for the search. The snow and cold of a Canadian winter had settled in and as each hour passed without sight of Donna, the police became more and more discouraged. This is not the time of news they like to deliver to the family of a missing person at any time, but it is especially difficult at the holidays.
As a last desperate move to find Donna, the police brought in their search dog Ace. Shortly after Ace began the search, she started barking at a snow drift about 220 yards away from the abandoned car. As rescuers followed Ace’s cue, they found Donna Molnar under several feet of snow. It appears that Molnar, although familiar with the area became disoriented in the heavy snow and got out of the vehicle to try and find her way home. According to Sergeant Cox, if the police force in Hamilton, Ontario, “That deep snow may very well have been what insulated her enough to keep her core temperature high enough that she survived the three days.” In regards to the reward that Ace was going to receive for her hard work and great rescue, these words were spoken, “I’m told on good authority he’s looking at a T-bone dinner for this one.” Ms. Molnar is in a hospital in Hamilton, Ontario. While in serious condition, it is believed that she will survive this ordeal - thanks to Ace.
