Idaho dog shows up in California, then Nevada

If only all dogs could write the way some of the blogging dogs write, we would have some exciting stories or maybe whole novels.

But we’ll never know exactly what convoluted adventures dogs like Reba have had.

Reba, a 18-month-old Border Collie cross, went missing from her secure outdoor kennel in Troy, Idaho on September 13 with only a collar and vaccination tag. Her family, Kamy and Travis Heath and their two young boys, searched the city, but could not find her.

Two days later a woman in Roseville, California found a black and white dog with Reba’s vaccination tag, but a woman walking by her house said the dog was hers and off they went. The Heaths were sure that was the sad ending of the story.

Then last Friday a humane society just outside of Reno, Nevada called saying that they had a black and white dog with Reba’s vaccination tag.

So the Heaths left the next morning for a 1400-mile round trip to Reno to pick up Reba to bring her back to Idaho.

The only explanation that makes sense is that Reba was stolen twice and managed to get away from her abductors both times, hoping to find her way back to her family. The story

Wow! That was certainly one determined little dog. And one very lucky family. It's nice to read a lost pet story with a happy ending!
