Beautiful female with a GPS collar but no other tags. This is in the middle of a subdivision. She was clearly lost, confused and cold. Opened the door to my truck and she hopped right in, sat long enough for me to take a quick pic and than laid down on the front passenger seat. I turned the seat heater on to medium and she was pretty quickly nodding off.
I figured there was a good chance her GPS battery was dead due to the cold so posted a pic on a local community facebook group saying where i found her. Within 6 minutes someone recognized her and 45 minutes later her owner picked her up and confirmed the GPS was dead. He was very grateful - they had been running coyotes at sunrise and lost her at some point during the hunt. The hound:
Strange how that works - this is the fourth lost hound i have rescued in the last 5 years. Every time was able to track the owner down through Facebook etc. Only had to overnight one once before the owner was located. No idea how long this girl wandered around the subdivision but she seemed to trust me instinctively. Needless to say i am a dog person and currently have 2 Walkers. I may be cynical about most things but a good dog is worth more than most people i know and hope if my dogs ever needed help someone would return the favor.
