Luna, a 10-year-old Jack Russell terrier, has been found alive after surviving 34 days alone in Yellowstone National Park. The dog escaped from her family's cabin on September 10 while they were visiting the park. Rescuers, led by Katie Boucher of the Norris Arc Training and Recovery Center, found her on October 14 as winter approached.
