A Woman Lost In The Wilderness Saw A Dog Digging A “Hole,” And Then The Reality Became Clear

Things look bad for Annette Poitras. She is lost in the Canadian wilderness with three dogs for company. The weather is atrocious, with rain that just won’t stop. And she is starving and dehydrated too. The dogs are up to something, and when she looks closely, they seem to be doing something more helpful than Annette could’ve ever imagined.

Caught off guard...

It’s a truly remarkable tale that had everything — from drama to sweat-inducing suspense. So we hope you’re prepared for what’s to come, folks! For Annette, though, there’s no way she could’ve predicted what eventually happened during that scary spell in the woods. She wasn’t exactly a stranger to the terrain.

A beloved figure

A resident of British Columbia, Canada, Annette was part of a loving family back home. She had a spouse in the shape of Marcel Poitras, as well as a daughter. Plus the mom was well regarded in her community thanks to her love of dog walking. She even made a career out of it.

Knowing the area

So Annette was pretty familiar with the nearby hiking trails, seeing that she often traversed them with local pooches. The paths around Coquitlam’s Eagle Mountain were no different. But as winter closed in toward the end of 2017, the dog walker’s knowledge of that particular area went out the window.

How the drama started

Let’s set the scene. On the afternoon of November 20, 2017, Annette headed out to Eagle Mountain with three dogs. The first of those was Chloe: her pet collie. As for the other two, Bubba the puggle and Roxy the boxer belonged to different owners, who had handed them over to the canine walker.
