 "In Michigan, former shelter dog saves naked, shivering girl left in ditch")
A former shelter dog in Michigan is being credited with saving the life of a 3-year-old girl who was found naked and alone in freezing weather.
The Delta Animal Shelter shared a letter on Facebook from the family of Peanut, an abused dog that arrived at the shelter nearly a year ago.
The family writes that Peanut alerted her owner that she wanted to go out on Friday and took him to a field behind the house on Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The owner found the little girl, brought her inside and called emergency number 911.
Authorities say they found the parents nearby in a residence with "unsafe and unsanitary living conditions."
The girl and another young girl were removed from the home. Prosecutors are reviewing the case.
