lost dogs/found dogs

[musher]

I lost a dog last Friday night. She got off the chain and didn't hang around with the rest of the team. That's very unusual. The typical behaviour is that the dog jsu hangs out.

This is a performance dog. It was actually hitched belonged to Jeff King. she's now 10-11 years old.

I looked high and low. Put up a few signs. Talked to neighbours and strangers and wiated.

Around dog suppertime, less than 24 hours later she reappeared. The dogs were supper barking and a friend that was at the house spotted her on the other side of the river along the highway. I boogied over and she was some glad to see me.

She ate like a horse and went to sleep.

All's well that ends well but what a nighmare. The last thing you want is for some poor guy to swirve off the road avoiding hitting her. Or that she gets into someones chickens, etc..

Other lost/found dog stories?

I've got a few more but my turn's over!

Last year in Feb. I lost a hound, ( I did not really lose him, he decided to jump up on his dog house, and then jump over the his Dog kennel Fence, and go hunting). I had went out to feed him in the morning and it was cold after the fresh snow we got that night, so I figured he was in the dog house, NOPE ;)that little meathead got out. So I left the door open on the kennel, and Drove around, made phone calls, made up flyers, talked to folks out in the country. He was gone 1 week, durning that week I got 3 calls from the country folks that they could hear him running Hot, with his loud Chop mouth. Well by the time I got out there he would shut up. Well 7 days later he came home, my son went outside and was heading to school and walked by the kennel and goose was in there, so my son shut the door and came running in the house and YELLED DAD, Goose is back LOL. I went outside and sure enough he was, he was alittle sore and lose some pounds from all the running, but was healthy and ok
This is him

My wife has some Pekingese dogs, , well, because they're so small, they can get through a normal fence, so before I got the yard Peke proof, they would sometimes go on walkabout. They never went far, but one time the male just disappeared, We looked the entire day, asked everyone we saw, made up fliers, etc. , nothing.
Two days later, I get a call about the dog, caller is 5 miles from the house. Apparently, one of the illegal Mexicans working down the road from me, grabbed the dog, hid it in the truck, and brought it home.
I guess all the fliers made them nervous as his entire crew knew he took it, and El Jeffe, probably told him return it or else.

I've never left a hound in the woods- but I've spent a lot of time drivng around, parking, listening, using the horn, down the road, etc. Sooner or later, you'd hear them

I have left a few in the woods over night but alwayse found them the next morning. Haven't had that problem since I started using tracking units about 17 years ago. saved myself alot of sleep.

Tomcat I agree with you on the tracking units, If I am out running NONE of the hounds will be allowed to run unless they got a tracking coller. Because it is not fair to the dog, to let them do what they love to do, RUN and HUNT, and then leave there dogs in the woods all night, and then fair game to the predators, cause now the hound that was chasing them durning the day, is in there world at night. Its the owner's fault for being to stupid, or cheap to put one on the hounds, and it anything happens to the hounds. All I can say is have respect for your pets, for what they love to do, for you and with you.
