Blaze has been found! On Behalf of his owner Karen, thanks to anyone who offered to help or did search for him last night! He was found about 4:30AM. He was cold, wet and tired, and his pads were cut, but otherwise he was fine.
Great news and a happy ending
I've had 3 pooches go lost on me over the years, 2 while hunting, and one broke and ran out thru the door. Of the 2 while hunting, one was in training with a check cord on her, spent 2 hours searching and finally found her all balled up with the check cord in some briars. Not a good thing for a dog to get loose with a leash on. This same dog went on her own expedition for a half hour the next year and came out hurt on her own, tore her anterior cruciate ligament and had to be carried to the truck. She did the other leg 2 years later. Our other pooch, aptly named Calamity Jane, went lost in Greenwood one afternoon. Spent a long time looking, went back to the truck and looked again. Found her where she went in, but she would not come near me. Finally got her. This same dog busted out of the house one evening during a really bad storm. Neighbors helped us look, but eventually we all went home. Around midnight wife and I decided to drive around once more and upon opening the front door, found blood all over the steps, but no dog. My wife found her hiding in the neighbors shrubs, lsoaking wet, eft front paw all bloodied and swollen to the size of a baseball. She either got in someones trap, or a car or snapping turtle got her. No broken bones , but she was bleeding from every one of her claws where they exited her paw. Vet could not figure out what caused it. All turned out well after a stay at the emergency vets.
Dogs have a way of making life interesting at times, and expensive.
