Road trip
Looks like shark bait to me.
Poor doggie.
Good question about where was it for 12 years and how did it survive, since it seems nobody adopted it in the meantime.
But somehow it survived and hopefully will have a few more good years with its original owner.
There’s a Hunter Biden joke in here somewhere.
I see why the dog left.
The most likely explanation is that the dog was picked up by someone and has been living with them for the past 12 years. Dogs have sometimes returned home after running off on a trip, but most dogs don’t have a well developed sense of direction. They can get lost after chasing a squirrel.
At 12 years she lost a puppy, and found it in time to bury it. Her loyalty is to be commended, but the dog does not know her.
[[What I’d like to know: Where was the dog for 12 years?]]
Bar hopping no doubt- just forgot where it was, and lost track of time, that’s all
