Gone For Nine Years- But Not Forgotten

Nine years ago the Geary family adopted a German Shepherd from a Florida shelter. A month later, the dog named Astro, went missing.

The Gearys later moved- three times in all finally ending up in Louisville, KY. Yet in spite of this, more than nine years later, the Gearys received a call from animal control officers in Tenessee that their dog had been found.

After a few weeks- its like he was never gone and certainly was never forgotten. PS th eGeary's were located due to a chip. Do your dogs have chips?

The Amazing Sophie Tucker

While boating with her family off the coast of Australia, sudden rough seas caused Sophie to fall overboard. Her owners searched for their Australian Cattle dog for over an hour and finally gave up believing that either the rough waves or severe wake had claimed her as a victim.

Instead of succumbing to the sea, Sophie swam over five miles in these same rough seas to a small deserted island. For four months she lived on a diet of wild baby goats she herself caught and killed. She was spotted by wildlife rangers who characterized her as wild. She would not allow herself to be approached by humans and was very protective of her food.

She was finally trapped and her story caught the attention of various news agencies and also her owners. Characterized as wild as soon as she spotted her owners she immediately transformed back to the sweet domestic dog they had always known and loved. It was an immediate reunion and truly happy ending.
