   steadfast in the snow, sitting atop of the glacial hole that held the   
   man captive. As it turns out, the shivering, barking dog is what got   
   the helicopter rescue crew's attention first before they even saw the   
   crevasse.   
      
   The Air Zermatt rescue team was able to lift the hiker and his dog to   
   safety and flew them to a local hospital. Air Zermatt released a   
   statement later calling the effort an "extraordinary" rescue mission.   
   Neither the hiker's name nor the dog's name were made public.   
      
   Hams know that a lifesaving HT is always a plus for such hikes -- but   
   for extra assurance, perhaps the next essential in the amateur radio   
   "go kit" out to be something called an "LD" --	     which in this   
   case, stands for "Loyal Dog."   
      
   This is Ralph Squillace KK6ITB.

   A good QSO can be like poetry - sometimes! So why not write a haiku   
   about amateur radio and join the Newsline haiku challenge? It's as easy   
   as writing a QSL card. We can only accept the correct haiku format   
   -that is, a three-line verse with five syllables in the first line,   
   seven in the second and five in the third. Submit your work on our   
   website at arnewsline.org - each week's winner gets a shout-out on our   
   website, where everyone can find the winning haiku.
