Lost BC Toddler gets to keep guardian angel dog
"He just wanted some juice. He was pretty dehydrated there. I guess this dog took pretty good care of him."
Police say it's likely the boy survived by cuddling up with the dog, Koda, to keep warm through the night.
Koda's owner, Kim Dolan, said it's amazing the two made it out safe and sound.
"From what the parents have said, they're just total outdoors people and he was in his element, the little guy ... with a guardian angel of course."
Dolan said she was happy to let the boy keep the dog.
"We gave Koda to them because he, obviously, helped play a big part in making sure the baby survived."
Dolan said her own kids weren't immediately keen on the idea of giving their dog away.
"I have two children, two boys of my own, that were kind of upset about my decision [to give the dog away] until they met the family ... and understood the situation a little better," she said.
