Owners: Labrador raced to family home after rescue
Wednesday, 21 Sep 2011
VIROQUA, Wis. (AP) - Goldie the Labrador retriever never misses a meal. So, when she vanished from a vineyard near Viroqua last week, her owners were devastated. They knew their pet would never wander far from home.
Mary and Jeff Aderman searched by foot and by car and put up posters, hoping to find their beloved dog. Six days passed, but Goldie did not turn up and the couple grew doubtful.
Then on Monday, Jeff Aderman was collecting grapes in the vineyard when he heard a strange sound coming from the nearby meadow.
He discovered a sinkhole in the meadow about six feet deep. At the bottom, Goldie was looking up at him. She had survived the elements without food or water for nearly a week.
Mary Aderman told the La Crosse Tribune that once Goldie was lifted from the hole, she made a beeline for the house.
