re: Who here has had their dog run away?

Years ago, my wife had a collie shepard mix that looked like a hunting dog. Somebody stole her out of the yard. Was gone we thought...forever. My wife (GF at the time), kept looking. 6-8 weeks went by and I kept saying its a lost cause.

Then she "just decided" to stop by the Birmingham Animal Control facility just in case...and holy shite, there was the dog. We thought it was miracle.

Guess she wasnt much of a hunting dog and whomever stole her, just let her go and Animal Control picked her up. Given that she was a full grown dog, no telling how long before they would have euthanized her.

Moral of the story: Keep Looking!!!! You never know.
