Nana, the wonder dog whose barking and prancing around acted as a decoy to give her injured master, Hirofumi Mikami, enough time to flee to safety, was found near the foot of Mount Onajika and returned to her owner ...
"She did a great job," Mikami said as he patted 5-year-old Nana, who responded with a wag of her tail. "I was bleeding horribly after the bear got me. I had to get down the mountain on one leg, so I didn't have the time to think about Nana ...
"If I hadn't brought Nana with me when the bear attacked, I might have died," Mikami said.
