According to BBC.com, when he was found, the dog was caked in snow after spending hours in wintry, windy conditions. He was spotted just as cloud cleared when the helicopter was circling overhead.It turns out Ben had been missing for two days in dangerous weather caused by Storm Gareth.Officials say Ben has recovered from exposure and has been reunited with his owner.
