Two Colorado college students have been hailed as heroes after they helped rescue a dog buried under piles of snow during an avalanche, and the dramatic event was caught on video.News they were backcountry skiing in the Berthoud Pass area in Colorado when they saw an explosion of snow and realized an avalanche was building nearby.
"He started moving, and he just looked confused like, 'Why am I sliding down the hill?' And then he was just gone," Shepherd told ABC News. After about 20 minutes, White told Trujillo that the two should leave the area, fearing that they were probing through terrain that could trigger another avalanche. According to ABC News, avalanche rescues become dramatically more difficult if the victim is not uncovered in 15 minutes.
