Flute Saved Tourist when Japanese Speaking Dog Couldn’t

A French tourist lost in dense Taranaki bush guided rescuers to her by playing a tiny flute.


The lessons learned/reinforced are:
  1. Carry a whistle (or a flute, I guess).
  2. Some dogs can speak Japanese?!?!? laugh

I'm not sure what good a Japanese speaking dog would be to me, other than getting me on the cover of some tabloid, or maybe a spot on the Jay Leno show...
