"A man stranded for five days with his dog when their car became stuck in Oregon's deep snow survived by eating taco sauce packets and periodically starting his vehicle for warmth.

Jeremy Taylor, 36, and his dog Ally were found Friday by a snowmobiler on a Forest Service road near Sunriver, about 180 miles south Portland, the Deschutes County Sheriff's Office said.

"Jeremy and Ally were found to be in good condition but hungry after being stuck in the snow for five days," Sgt. William Bailey said. Rescuers shuttled the tandem out of the woods on a snow tractor.

Taylor told investigators his 2000 black Toyota 4Runner became stuck in the snow Feb. 24. He awoke the next day to even more snow and tried to walk out but was turned back."
