<p>Rescuers are hailing as a "four-legged hero" a furry Chihuahua whose pacing atop an Alpine rock helped a helicopter crew find its owner, who had fallen into a crevasse on a Swiss glacier nearby.</p>
<p>The man, who was not identified, was exploring the Fee Glacier in southern Switzerland on Friday when he broke through a snow bridge and fell nearly 8 meters (about 26 feet), according to Air Zermatt, a rescue, training and transport company.</p>
<p>Equipped with a walkie-talkie, the man connected with a person nearby who relayed the accident to emergency services. But the exact location was unknown. After about a half-hour search, the pacing pooch caught the eye of a rescue team member.</p>
<p>As the crew zeroed on the Chihuahua, the hole the man fell into became more visible. Rescuers rappelled down, rescued the man and flew him and his canine companion to a hospital.</p>
<p>"Imagine if the dog wasn't there," Air Zermatt spokesman Bruno Kalbermatten said by phone. "I have no idea what would happen to this guy. I think he wouldn't survive this fall into the crevasse."</p>
<p>On its website, the company was effusive: "The dog is a four-legged hero who may have saved his master's life in a life-threatening situation."</p>
