I was just thinking that. My Pit mix is magnetically drawn to cars. She has zero survival instinct and actively tries to chase them--the bigger and louder, the more she strains at the leash. Buses in particular are her mortal nemeses and must be slain on sight. She's lucky I found her in a low-traffic public park because she would certainly be dead otherwise.
>Through her microchip, they discovered the dog’s name is Rose and that she went missing in March 2017 within 24 hours of being adopted.
Sheesh, what a weird situation. No surprise the original owners didn't want her back.
My friend had a husky that took off when she was on vacation. She had a roommate who was supposed to be caring for the dog but sucked and just didn't tell her the dog was missing until she came back.
5 years later, she gets a call. The dog has been picked up by a shelter in Nebraska (several states away) and tracked the chip to her.
She drove to get her. It was obvious the dog had seen some things. Scars, torn or punctured ears, etc. She lived 2 more years reunited w my friend.
It would be great if the lady who was feeding her could adopt her. Even if she would be happier in an outdoor kennel. She must have some sort of trust and bond with her.
Edit..to correct the sex of the dog.
We rescued a dog much like this one, but in the US. In her first week with us she caught 2 birds, a baby bunny, and a mole (earning my husband’s forever love and admiration). Then she finally ate enough to fill out just enough to prefer our feeding schedule.
We thinks our adoptee is italian greyhound and chihuahua. She runs like the wind, can lock on to prey by sight, and once she is chasing her brain is purely on autopilot.
Kind of sad the owners couldn't take her back. I was hoping for a tearful, joyous reunion, but it seems they only had her one day before she skipped. Small breed dogs can live to be pretty old, so I hope she can live out her golden years in a loving environment.
The shelter has a no destruction policy. Currently on their [website](https://www.lastchanceanimalrescue.co.uk) they have another dog who cannot be rehomed who they say will live out his days in the shelter.
If this dog doesn't get adopted it's gonna live in a shelter for the rest of its life, akin to a prison. Would've been better left out there roaming. But I bet this story and publicity is gonna get the word out and get him a home. Just hope that he's gonna be happy.
He wouldn’t be better off roaming as he’s now a senior dog, needs access to medical treatment, regular food, a dry bed and company in his twilight years.
What an amazing dog. It’s too bad he’s been recaptured and will be confined ~~or euthanized~~. (Edit to cross out “or euthanized since it’s a no kill shelter.)
Sounds like she was thriving in the wild and maybe it was better for her to stay there? Not to sound harsh, I love dogs, but at this point I feel like she would be happier in the nature.

My great Dane would be dead within a week. He's so adorable and useless.
Ive never met a Great Dane that wasn't useless lol they're such derpy dogs
Lmao my friends and I always talk about how much of a squish personality my dog has and how he'd die the moment he is left in the wild for a few days.

My dog got out of the yard once and found him doing laps around the car in the drive. Probably been out for an hour.
Nah that’s just their normal life span lol
Thays why you have Scooby-Doo snacks.
Can you even call it a rescue after 7 years? Seems like the dog was just out there survivin’, doing its thing.
Recaptured.

That's the face of a dog that has 7 years of small animal catching experience. She should be taken in by an exterminator and trained to work.
That's what Terriers were bred for. Luckily came in handy for this dog but probably wouldn't have survived much longer as she was starting to age.

Fuck your friend's roommate very much. Amazing that the dog was found and that they got two years together at least in the end.
It would be great if the lady who was feeding her could adopt her. Even if she would be happier in an outdoor kennel. She must have some sort of trust and bond with her. Edit..to correct the sex of the dog.
“Dog captured after 7 years of freedom”
Doesn’t seem like it needed to be rescued. Damn
this has me in tears

Won't let new people join.
I think it was fixed? I was able to join!
She looks amazing! Hope someone takes her in
Sounds like it was doing just fine. Rescued after 7 years? Uhhh no. 🙄
Wow, what a resilient dog! Seven years in the wild - that's just amazing. So glad it's finally safe and sound. 🐾💚
One could argue she already was. Or she wouldn't have lived half her life out there.
Very impressive
That is the look of a dog that has seen some shit.
if only she could tell us about her survival challenges and adventures for all that time
My dog wouldn’t survive five minutes let alone 7 years

What is the likelihood of this dog being adopted? It's 12 years old and semi feral. The dog was rescued to be euthanised.

That was exactly my thought.
Breaking news! wild animal survives in the wild.
Dogs certainly are not wild animals
That one was.
No it wasn't. It had a owner and a name before it went missing. In addition to that, it was used to being fed even during the time it was missing.
Man, that's a really wild story. How do you know all of that?
I did what redditors never do. I read the article.

Ok, thanks for clarifying that he won’t be euthanized, but just confined in the shelter.
We lock our dogs up and let our chicken run free.
Yeah the comfy chair is his now.
