Saved by a Dog (Colour Litho)
2778341 Saved by a Dog (Colour Litho) by Beltrame, Achille (1871-1945); Private Collection; (add.info.: Saved by a dog. A young climber, forced to immobility by breaking his leg during an ascension, was blocked for two days by the blizzard on the Galibier Hill, in the French Alps. Several teams tried in vain to help him. The frost would have killed him if a big wolfdog, who had stayed by him, had not defended him from the very cold with the heat of his body, until a luckier patrol could take him from danger.

Saved by a Dog - A Tale of Survival in the French Alps
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "Saved by a Dog (Colour Litho)" by Achille Beltrame, tells the remarkable story of a young climber's harrowing experience on Galibier Hill in the French Alps. Trapped and immobilized for two days due to a broken leg and an unforgiving blizzard, his chances of survival seemed bleak. Despite numerous failed attempts by rescue teams, hope arrived in the form of a loyal wolfdog. This brave canine companion shielded the injured climber from the biting cold with its own body heat. Without this selfless act, frostbite would have claimed his life. The image captures both the treacherous beauty of nature and the unwavering bond between humans and animals. It serves as a testament to our reliance on one another during times of peril. Beltrame's illustration was originally published in Courier Sunday on March 24th, 1935. The scene depicts not only physical danger but also showcases human resilience and determination amidst adversity. As we gaze upon this powerful artwork today, we are reminded that even in our darkest moments, there is always hope – whether it comes from unexpected sources or through acts of bravery from those around us.
