Nevada couple stranded in a snowstorm after following GPS down remote road.

Luckily, this tragedy actually had a happy ending: While the couple did strand themselves by following their car GPS into snowbound national forest, they survived their three-day ordeal by being prepared food, water, and warm clothes. Authorities noted that their preparation likely saved their lives.

In more heartwarming news, 11-year-old Austin Forman was saved from a mountain lion attack by his golden retriever Angel, and a church in Quebec will turn into a rock climbing center with the blessing of the Roman Catholic Church.
