A Dog’s Great Escape: Survives 6 Years in the Woods After Fleeing New Family
Have you ever heard the saying “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks”? Well, apparently, you can’t teach a new dog to stay with her new family either.
Meet the world-renowned escape artist and determined independent, Sister, the dog who ran away within a mere 24 hours of being adopted. Sister’s distaste for domesticity led her to flee into the perilous English woods, and to the delight of animal lovers everywhere, she emerged victorious six years later.
After her adoptive family’s attempt to contain her went awry, Sister took it upon herself to find her true calling in life – living as a woodland rebel. Our furry heroine was determined to not let the man keep her down. She evaded all attempts to bring her back home and embarked on a solo journey into the heart of the woods.
Left with nothing but each other, Sister thrived amongst her muddy, feral companions – the squirrels, the deer, the hedgehogs, and rabbits. She tirelessly patrolled her territory, surviving on rations of food that she found in the wild. While her former family missed her dearly and worried about her well-being, Sister was living her best life in the wild, far from the suburban constraints.
The story of Sister’s great escape and survival is nothing short of monumental. Her feral instincts enabled her to adapt and overcome the harsh realities of the wild. When she was finally rescued, the dog had grown long and wild, her fur matted, and her bark gruff with disuse. Sister had undergone an incredible transformation, a reflection of her newfound freedom.
The search for Sister had been an ongoing saga, with sightings of the runaway pup being reported sporadically over the last six years. It wasn’t until a recent sighting that Sister’s rescuers, from the Benji Rescue Squad, were able to capture her.
Experts were astounded by Sister’s survival skills and amazed by her ability to transition after living such a long time in the wild. Gail Johnson, the founder of the squad was quoted as saying “I have never known a dog to live out that long. It is remarkable”.
While her former family may have missed out on Sister’s wild ways, her newfound fame has granted her the attention she deserves. Sister is now an inspiration to all those who yearn for a life beyond the mundane. Though Sister’s original family may have been deeply disappointed when she ran away, her story is a testament to the strength and resilience of dogs everywhere.
Sister’s daring escape and long journey to freedom not only showcase the incredible talent of dogs, but also the importance of respecting your pup’s independence. So take a cue from Sister and live your life outside the box, with nothing but the wild calling to you.
