Firefighters in Poland say a small dog likely saved the life of a three-year-old girl who went missing from her home overnight in freezing temperatures, the BBC reported. The child, Julia, vanished on Friday and was found lying in marshes several kilometres from her house on Saturday morning, with the dog by her side. She is now in hospital in western Poland, suffering from frostbite after temperatures fell to -5C (23F). Firefighter Grzegorz Szymanski said the dog kept the child warm enough to live. “For the whole night the animal was with the girl, it never left her. Remember, it was 5 degrees below zero and the child was wet,” he said, adding that the animal was the most important factor in the girl’s survival.
