A dog has been given a gold medal for bravery after saving the life of his owner's dad.
Bosnich - also called Bos - was being walked by his owner's dad Mark on the Cumbrian Fells, when bad weather made it difficult to know the way to go.
They soon got lost and 74-year-old Mark got very cold and started to get ill because he really needed water.
They were missing for two days before other walkers found Bos howling for help and he could led them to Mark.
Once he'd been found Mark was airlifted to hospital to recover.
Now the PDSA has given Bos a gold medal, which is awarded for extreme courage.
Mike Graham, of the Penrith Mountain Rescue Team, said if it hadn't been Bos's persistent howling Mr Corrie may not have been discovered in time.
"Bos was a hero that day and his family should be very proud," he said. "I'm sure his actions saved Mark Corrie's life."
