Daisy goes cross country and nobody knows how
In an amazing story from Knoxville, Tennessee, it appears that seven months after disappearing from her yard in the state of Colorado, some 2,000kms from Knoxville, a tiny terrier named Daisy turned up in Knoxville, Tennessee!
Tracie Crass found 2-year-old Daisy wandering outside her home in Knoxville on Christmas night and assumed the 5.4kg dog had slipped out of its home during the holiday festivities, so she took the friendly little dog on to her porch and sat with Daisy and waited for its owner to come looking for it.
No one showed up though and not even the next day, so Tracie called the number on Daisy’s rabies inoculation tag and amazingly reached Daisy’s veterinary surgeon, who then contacted Daisy’s owner, Vonda Lundstrom who lives in Aurora, Colorado.
Tracie sent Vonda a cell phone photograph of Daisy and Tracie confirmed that Daisy was the same little dog that had dug a hole under the fence at her home seven months ago in April and simply disappeared.
With help from Knoxville’s Young-Williams Animal Centre, Daisy flew home on Wednesday, with Vonda saying, “The kindness of people gives you a reason to believe and it’s the best Christmas present.”
The reunion at Denver International Airport was memorable with Daisy immediately licking Vonda who said, “I have my baby back, that’s for sure.”
As Vonda has no ties to Knoxville she assumes somebody stole Daisy and not surprisingly she said she has since filled in the hole under her fence to make sure.
“I’m going to do everything in my power to see that it doesn’t happen again,” she said.
