Our dog "aka Puppy" has been missing since last Wednesday. He is an outside dog and wonders, but usually stays pretty close to home. We didn't really notice he was gone until Saturday, just figured he was in the woods. We went looking for him but to no avail, nothing. Haley was pretty upset. Sunday, Haley decided to make Lost posters to place at the 2 local stores . (Yes I said 2, very small community) After school on Monday her Papaw took her to the stores to place the signs and went out to look for him. Nobody had seen him. When Kevin and I got home we ate supper at his parents house and went home. We had a message on the machine. It was one of Haleys classmates mothers, she thought she had saw Puppy, but wasn't sure, she told us where she had seen him. So we set out to find him. We took the truck, because Puppy knows the sound of the truck and would surely hear us. We went right to where she had seen him and hollered. We were driving up someones driveway, going to ask if they had seen him and here he comes flying. He had heard the truck. Kevin stopped, Haley jumped out and they reunited. Haley was happy to see him but I think he was happier. He was 4 1/2 miles from home! We spoke with the person who lives there and she said that he had been there for 2 days and that she had tried to feed him but he would just run away from her. I think he was living in her barn. We took him home, fed and petted him and put him to bed on the porch. He seemed very happy to be home. Haley was happy and rested much better last night. What is the old tale about dogs never getting lost? Oh, well, guess thats no so true. So he was found and all is well.
