Re: Lost dog found after 4 yrs
Wow! What an amazing story!
We lost our dog for three days one time and had given up looking for her altogether.
She ran away from a camp during a thunderstorm about 12 miles north of Thessalon and was actually picked up five days later by a couple driving east on Highway 17 near Bruce Mines. The girl thought that the "dog just didn't look right" and convinced her boyfriend to turn around. They opened the door and our dog jumped right in.
It was in 2003 and I'd forgotten to put her new rabies tag on so, the one from 2002 was still there. They called the animal hospital who got in touch with us. I can still remember the disbelief and tears!
The couple drove south while we drove north and we met them at the Petro Can near Highway 88.
Quite the amazing story I thought.....until you read this!

Re: Lost dog found after 4 yrs
WOW 
Some of you may know this but I live in New Bern NC. The Wilkerson's son, George worked for our company for several years. In fact, the dog was found on the refuge where Grizz lives/lived. Man, to get this news from a fellowette 
forum member in Canada when it just hit the local newspaper today is......freaky. Anyhow, I know the Wilkersons are elated to have Teddy Bear back home. It's really hard to imagine that dog surviving that bear and wolf infested wilderness for 4 years . Hey Vixchix, how in the world did you hear about this waaaay up yonder? Before I did even 
.

Hey, there's even an article in there about some fat guy that was in the pool at the Y and................

Re: Lost dog found after 4 yrs
Ray, the story was posted on FB by one of my Airedale rescue friends - she's the owner of the Lilly in this lost dog recovery story:
http://www.airedaleterriers.org/swat/aa ... more2.html
Lilly was one of the 19 dogs abandoned by a breeder in AZ in 2003:
http://www.airedaleterriers.org/swat/aa ... round.html
Our Airedale Trudi, also a rescue, (although not one of the 19 from AZ) was much the same as Lilly when we first got her - totally terrified of everything and completely unsocialized. She's come a long way in the 7+ yrs we've had her, but she's never been a "typical" Airedale.
