Shady, German shepherd mix

Missing Area Dog Found 900 Miles Away In Texas, Flown Home

March 23, 2011

An Escambia County, Alabama, dog is back home today after being found 900 miles away in Brownsville, Texas

Shady, a German shepherd mix went missing back in January. She somehow traveled from her Brewton, Alabama, home across four states to south Texas. Found wondering the streets of Brownsville with a pack of stray dogs, Brownsville animal control officers located her microchip and were able to contact owner Jodie Wilson back in Alabama.

“Receiving the phone call was shocking, knowing exactly where she was at and how far away it was with her being unharmed was utterly amazing! After being gone for so long we just assumed the worst. This is a wild but amazing story,” Wilson said.



Danny Ritter, a volunteer with Pilots N Paws flew Shady from Houston to Brewton for a happy reunion.

“We will never know how she got that far but Jesus was traveling with her because he put his angels to work. Shady’s guardian angels have rescued her, sheltered her, arranged for her to come home, transported her, watched over her, donated money for her journey home, flew her home and cared for her while she was on her big adventure,” Wilson said.

Members of Shady’s family met her at the Brewton Airport after she was flown back from Texas
And Wilson’s advice for other pet owners? “Microchip your pet, it works!”
