(CNN) -- No one expected to find Donna Molnar alive.
Searchers had combed the brutal backcountry of rural Ontario for the housewife from the city of Hamilton, who had left her home three days earlier in the middle of a blizzard to grocery shop.
Alongside his search-and-rescue dog Ace, Ray Lau on Monday tramped through the thick, ice-covered brush of a farmer's field, not far from where Molnar's van had been found a day earlier.
He kept thinking: Negative-20 winds? This is a search for a body.
"Then, oh, all of a sudden, Ace bolted off," said Lau. "He stooped and looked down at the snow and just barked, barked, barked."
Lau rushed to his Dutch shepherd's side.
"There she was, there was Donna, her face was almost totally covered except for one eye staring back at me!" he said. "That was, 'Wow!' There was a thousand thoughts going through my head. It was over the top."

From the time I was in the 6th grade all the way until I graduated I went thru basic survival courses for both winter and desert conditions. They ALL tell you NOT to leave your vehicle. I am really glad she was found safely but this should be a lesson that you shouldnt leave your vehicle.

Damn straight. When I lived places that got lots of snowfall, I always had blankets and stuff in the trunk.
