Okanagan dog missing for five months returns home
Global News
For months, the animal had been living in the Shuswap, and residents there went above and beyond to connect the dog with its family.
Henry, the Australian Shephard-Sheltie cross, is back home in Okanagan Falls, B.C., but it was a long journey to get back to his family.
Owner Duffy Baker said he did not expect to see the dog agine, who had been missing for five months.
It all started in early July when Henry was at a trial placement on an Enderby area farm where Baker’s family thought he would get more exercise.
However, when neighbours lit off some fireworks, it spooked Henry and he ran off.
Baker said the farm searched for Henry for six days before contacting Henry’s original family.
“By the time they called us, who knows where he could have been,” said Baker.
Baker spent a day searching and thought he might never see the dog again.
At some point, Henry made his way to Sicamous, which is around 40 km from Enderby, and people on the west side of the channel started spotting him on their webcams.
