Is this the story where the man has a dog and they both freeze?

I think is B since (I think I've read this) he tries to create a fire with 2 sticks but since they are cold and humid they won't make a fire. Also, his foot (I think it was his foot from his wet shoes) start freezing and he can't stay warn anymore.
