my dog, jack, went missing last night. he takes himself for walks all the time but he always comes back so by 9 o clock we were out on bikes in cars and on foot looking for him. i dove into the woods at 10 at night just in time for my torch battery to die and for me to promtly get lost and stumble through trees and branches and ferns trying to find some way out whilst still searching for the source of this horrible barking noise that either soudned like jack in pain or a fox. it was the latter. in the end i found my way out and walked home defeated and went to bed to not sleep worrying.
however, this story has a happy ending! after a night of worrying that the coolest dog on earth was lying in a ditch somewhere whimpering and dying, or that his bad heart had given out of him and he'd slunk off to the woods to die, and a morning of hoping he'd be out on the doorstep or we'd find him in the daylight,we rang the police and he'd been found by some woman and taken into the police training centre down the road! and then onward to the pound! so after a fee from the council and a long drive there was the dog we know and love scampering out of a kennel! i don't think he realises anything happened tbh hm. a story for the ages.
