  "account": "A rescue dog named Dandi has found a woman who went missing for four days on Mount Maebong in Gangwon Province, assisting emergency workers in bringing her to safety, fire authorities announced on Friday. The woman, aged 62 and whose identity is undisclosed, strayed from the trail while entering the mountain on October 4 in Inje County, as reported by the Gangwon State Fire Headquarters.\n\nDandi, a Belgian Malinois aged four, was deployed to aid the search at police's request. The dog located the missing individual around 12:46 p.m. on Thursday, roughly two and a half hours after the search began. Upon being found, the woman was suffering from a leg injury, dehydration, and exhaustion but remained fully conscious, according to fire officials.\n\nThe rugged terrain of the mountain posed challenges to the rescue operation. Fire authorities promptly dispatched a helicopter to the scene to assist in the woman's safe retrieval. Approximately an hour and 24 minutes after Dandi found her, she was handed over to an ambulance crew around 2:10 p.m. on Thursday.",
