美國麻薩諸塞州一名飼主伍拉考特(Woollacott)8個月前發現愛犬凱撒走失,急得在網路和街上張貼尋狗啓事,直到今年2月初纔在281公里外的地方找到,他透過照片與動保志工確認,馬上一眼認出愛犬,開心地開車前往將牠接回家。
根據《Bangor Daily News》報導,5歲的國王牧羊犬凱撒(Kaiser)去年6月的某一天原本和兩個小主人在一起玩耍,接着卻突然跳過院子的矮牆消失不見。主人伍拉考特相當焦急,到處尋找都沒有結果,但還是抱持着一線希望,「直到找到牠或者見到屍體,否者我永遠不會放棄。」

伍拉考特爲了尋回愛犬,曾出動無人機從空中搜尋,自己則經常到街上張貼尋狗啓事,也有在網路尋求幫助,可惜都沒有好消息傳來,而這一找就經過8個月,直到今年2月初纔在緬因州一個動物保護組織的臉書看到凱撒的照片。
Missing Dogs Massachusetts的人員表示,民衆將走失的凱撒送來,大家試着掃瞄晶片、檢查項圈都找不到飼主的連絡資訊,只好暫時先安置起來並命名爲Grizz,希望能替這隻有點膽小又容易害羞的狗狗找到新家,沒想到竟然誤打誤撞找到飼主。
伍拉考特透過照片一眼認出自家愛犬,立即排除萬難開了281公里的車前往收容所。而凱撒再次見到主人時似乎嚇了一跳,仔細聞了聞伍拉考特的手,愣了將近30秒才高興地搖起尾巴,接着用後腳站起來撲了過去,溫馨的畫面讓一旁的志工看了也忍不住笑了出來。
2/15/19 Amazing news out of Bethel Maine. MDM was contacted earlier this week by Maine Lost Dog Recovery about a dog that was trapped in Bethel Maine. Kaiser went missing in Ashby Mass in June 2018. There were a few sightings early on, but then the trail went cold. A woman's freezer in Bethel had died and she put out $160 of meat on her porch. The next morning she went out and half the meat was gone and that is when she saw Kaiser. She fed him for 3 weeks more and then contacted Animal Control who trapped him. The boarding facility where he went missing from in Ashby Mass never gave up hope and saw their posting of this found dog on Maine Lost Dog, so they reached out to the shelter. From there, Kaisers owners were contacted. He is very thin (although you can't see it with all the fur, and extremely frightened). 185 miles! There were a lot of similarities and the owner went up today. You can see for yourself that it takes a moment for Kaiser to realize who it is, but when he does, its clear he is very happy. From the shelter in Maine: Let me tell you a story, it’s a fantastic story about never giving up. It starts like this; On 2/06/19 a stray dog was brought into the shelter, a kind Samaritan had been feeding the dog for 3 to 4 weeks but was unable to get close enough to catch him. He was timid, shy, and nobody really knew where he came from. A trap was set and the dog was finally caught and brought into Responsible Pet Care. We scanned him for a microchip like we always do, and checked-the collar for tags, nothing! Then his picture was posted on Facebook. We called him “Grizz” , and Grizz is a looker!!!! so we had A TON of comments, shares, likes and people who are willing to give this giant, magnificent animal a new chance at life. But, we had to wait to see if he would be claimed or not. Day 5 came of his stray hold and we got a call from a lady in Massachusetts, saying she was watching this dog for about 6 hrs when he slipped his lead and took off, the last sighting was about 75 miles away from where she was located, that was 8 MONTHS AGO IN MASSACHUSETTS!! His name was also Keizer, and he was a German Shepherd/malamute mix! (We called him Grizz) After speaking with the owner he was able to identify some things on Keizer that no one else would know!!! We knew this was his dog!!! (also when we called him by his name, he turned into a completely different dog he had his confidence back! Keizer’s dad is on his way as we speak from Massachusetts for a long over due reunion! We will of course share this with everyone! we don’t know how Keizer ended up in Maine, did he get here himself? Was he taken? Was he picked up and then escaped again? We may never know, but we do know that his family never stopped looking, and today will be the happiest day for all of them ❤️
