Elderly dog survives being lost for two weeks in freezing weather on Cotswolds’ highest pointShe sparked a huge searchView 4 Images Nelly, the pampered pooch who survived being lost for 14 nights in freezing weather on the Cotswolds’ highest hillAn elderly little dog, who sparked a massive search after going missing on the Cotswolds’ highest point, is recovering after surviving for two weeks in freezing weather. At 330m, the hill above Cheltenham is the highest point in Gloucestershire and the whole of the Cotswolds. ‌Despite there being snowfall and temperatures dipping to -5C during the 14 nights she was missing, Nelly was found alive on January 13. A vet has given Nelly pain killers as her feet were sore and she lost about a fifth of her body weight. It’s a pretty rural part of the Cotswolds, with thousands of potential hiding places for a scared, lost dog.
