They encountered a couple walking and asked if they’d seen a border collie. They hadn’t, but the man did see a black dog heading north. King handed the couple a flyer and was about to continue on her way when the woman addressed her. “As the lady was walking back, she points over to the tree where it’s real dark and says, ‘Is that your dog?’ ” King said. “And I turn and it’s Katie.”

Props for the other woman's eyesight. The dog wasn't going to react, obviously, probably scared after almost two months on its own. But that jogger really paid attention to the surroundings, that woman's gonna go far (pun intended.)

My dogs never leave the yard (big enough for them to have a romp when they feel like it), not even when scared of thunder and / or fireworks. Though we did find the GS mix hiding from it under the bed in the farthest room from the entrance, and we still have no idea how he opened the door to let himself in, lol.
