When we returned from our Lower Arkansas trip . . we expected our usual CoCo greeting when we pulled up . . . no CoCo. We called for her, took off on foot and bike, asked the neighbors . . no CoCo. She was last seen on the 4th of July, hanging out on the deck. FIREWORKS! Of course! She bolted, headed for the hills when she heard some snap, crackle and pops!
We spent the next morning making signs, calling shelters and saying prayers. Our first stop at Wedington Animal Hospital led us right to her! THANKFULLY she ran about a mile straight through the woods and into the home of a dog lover about 10:30pm on July 4th! He had brought her in and had her checked for a chip (which she didn't have, but WILL soon!) then took her home in hopes the owner would appear! AND we did! Talk about a halmark moment . . 3 boys running up a gravel driveway to reunite with their dog . . . tears! He bragged on a what a good dog she was. She was an inside dog with two new friends - a german shephard and golden retriever, for the weekend.
We sure are glad to have our 4 legged family member back! She has been SPOILED rotten today!
