‘Alpha’ stands guard over bodies of owner, friend stuck in Himachal snow

IT’s well-known that dogs are man’s best friend, but they do much more than just hang out with us as are highly attentive to us.

A pet dog Alpha for 48 hours guarded the body of his owner Abhinandan Gupta and his friend Parnita who fell down into a deep gorge in Bir-Billing range in Kangra district of Himachal Pradesh as they slipped in heavy snow and died. The rescuers could only trace the bodies as they heard a dog was barking in order to get help.
