One life was lost, and for awhile it looked like it could be two - until a postal worker with a love for animals stepped in.

Back in September we told you about Rose, a dog that stayed by the side of her dead owner for three weeks without food or water until the body was discovered. At the time of our report, Rose was living in a new home and receiving medical treatment, but still had a long way to go. Now, Rose's comeback is complete, and the woman who saved her life is at it again.

We want to warn you that some of the images in this report are graphic, but we want to show them to you to illustrate just how far Rose has come.
