Oh Lyn, I'm so sorry to hear about your dog! A few years ago my Jack Russell ran away in a thunderstorm. We hunted for her for days, put up posters. Kept getting "sightings" in one area and looked and looked. Then one morning I was eating breakfast and this voice goes off in my head "look now".....I didn't even finish my cereal, just got in the car and went. I hunted again with no luck and was just driving out of the woods when this man comes walking down the lane. "Are you looking for something" he says? I said yes, my dog. "Is it a rat terrier?", Well, it's a Jack Russell. He was silent and I asked "have you seen her?" He said........she's at our house! I went back with him and walked into their house and saw Tasha sitting on his wife's lap. She looked at me and her look was "is it really you?" then she jumped off the lady's lap and raced laps around me and I told her "I thought I'd never see you again" All three of us were crying. Apparently that morning they found her curled up on their porch. Where she was the previous 5 nights who knows....and how she kept from being coyote bait is amazing. I had to share my story because I want a similar happy ending for you.......and to tell you to listen to that little voice! Good luck Lyn.
