Margaret Haverson was taking the bus home. When it didn't stop where she wanted, she decided to walk home through a nearby arboretum. What she didn't consider was that the forest went unmaintained for over 40 years.
The 79-year-old quickly became lost in the overgrown woodland.
"I got in the arboretum and couldn't find my way out," she says.
Constantly getting caught in the brambles, her only choice was to take cover under a large tree and wait things out. "Then it got cold and dark, so I laid under a big tree," Margaret tells the BBC.
She spent three days under the tree and two freezing cold nights. The authorities formed search parties of volunteers and even helicopters, but they still couldn't find her.
So they called in the big guns or one air-scenting Border collie named Max. Like Raia another dog who saved her lost human, Max wasn't going let Margaret go unfound.
"To tell you the truth, I was not expecting to find Margaret alive," says Alex, Max's human. "I thought because of the weather, I thought she would have died of hypothermia."
But Max did find her. He is a specially trained wilderness-air-scenting dog, and is able to pick up missing human's scents and find what humans and fancy equipment cannot.
