The dogs woke their owners up at 4:30 a.m. on Sunday. They continuously tugged on their owner's sleeve, insisting to be let outside.

"(Adam) never tugged on my clothes before, so I was a cautious about letting them out because I didn't know if there was anything out there," Lonnie Chester said.

Before Lonnie could open the door all the way, Adam and Eva squeezed past and bolted to his truck outside. Next to it was an elderly woman in her late 80s on the ground, freezing with nothing on but a night gown.

"She looked up at me and said, 'I'm so cold,'" Lonnie said. "I have no idea how long she had been out there. She must have been terrified."

The temperature around the time was about 9 degrees in Norvell Township, Michigan.

Shortly after rescue crews arrived, the woman's family came to the house and asked if they had found their lost loved one. The family was looking for her but did not see her as she was lying in the snow in the near total darkness.

"It could have been a tragic outcome had Adam and Eva not woken us," Susan Chester said. "I don't know how they knew she was out there."

The elderly woman was checked out and taken for medical treatment.
