Missing B.C. woman and 3 dogs found alive after two nights in thick brush
COQUITLAM, B.C. — A Vancouver-area woman has been found safe after spending two nights lost in the woods with the three dogs she had been walking, police say.
Annette Poitras had been missing since Monday, when she and the dogs went for a walk in a rugged area of Coquitlam, not far from her home.
Waiting for news as hundreds of volunteers scoured the area was difficult, said her husband, Marcel Poitras.
“You just can’t imagine what it feels like,” he said after his wife was found. “I’ve had some dark days here. I woke up this morning and I just knew it, I knew she was coming home today.”
