And Rich may have been alive for longer than he was reported missing of course, sadly. Perhaps he had food for himself and/or food for Finney that Finney was able to forage also. I can only imagine that having Finney back after such a tragedy is really comforting. We take comfort where we can get it after such suffering IMO. As a hiker, a dog lover (that phrase doesn't come close to how I feel about dogs really), and I'm over 50 now, Rich's (and Finney's) story - however little we know of it - is haunting me. I hate to personalize but sometimes things hit closer, we all know it.
Glad he was found and his loved ones are not stuck in limbo, wondering what happened to both of them. Love to them.
