Some pictures might cross your mind when someone mentions Siberia. Some may think of lush forests and high peaks, while others may imagine very cold winters and a barren, snow-covered landscape.

Temperatures throughout the winter can drop as low as minus 38 degrees Fahrenheit, and they frequently stay below freezing long into April. The story of a mother who left her two-year-old son behind in Siberia during extremely cold weather shocked the entire world.

The infant miraculously survived because of an unanticipated hero. Residents of a settlement in southern Siberia's Altai area found the young kid on an uncovered porch belonging to a house.

The neighbors were shocked that the infant had somehow lived for two days in spite of the frigid conditions. The boy's survival was credited to a dog that kept him warm and comfortable until help could be sent.

The Siberian Times reports that local authorities have praised the dog as a "savior" and a "hero." This story may have ended very differently if this dog hadn't shown such extraordinary love.

Dogs have proven time and time again to be dependable and willing to put themselves in danger to protect humans. This story just proves that and you can keep scrolling to know more about what happened.

Despite the freezing temperatures, the child had miraculously survived for two days

There are other examples where a dog has been instrumental in ensuring a child's survival in the face of overwhelming adversity. Four years prior, in a comparable occurrence, three-year-old Karina Chikitova vanished from her home in a remote Siberian village.

With the passing of time, the likelihood of finding the child alive dwindled

The girl's mother surmised that she had gone to a nearby village with her father. She didn't know her daughter was missing until three days had passed.

Dogs have repeatedly shown their faithfulness and willingness to put themselves in harm’s way to safeguard humans

The chances of locating the girl alive decreased with the passage of time. But an unexpected ally showed up to reverse the situation.

The courageous toddler managed to survive by foraging for wild berries

The Siberian Times reports that eleven days after the girl vanished, the family's dog came home and led them to where she was hiding. With her head held high, the brave young child survived by gathering wild berries and taking water from the river.

The dog had protected her during the night and assisted her in staying out of harm’s way

Her devoted dog eventually left her side in need of assistance and directed the rescuers to her location. To the relief of the girl’s parents, the dog’s cleverness and intelligence paid off in locating the girl.

She had only minor injuries, with some scratches on her feet

The girl was just slightly hurt, and her feet were scratched. Before heading out to get help, the dog had kept her safe over the night and helped her avoid danger.

Those children are still alive and well now because of their steadfast dogs. In fact, dogs are amazing animals, and we love them!
