Family members today report that Maple, a dog reported lost on February 8th along the Bunker Hill Bogs Purple Heart Trail, has been reunited with her family after spending 8 weeks in the wild.
On February 8th, Maple was being walked with two other dogs when one, a greyhound mix got loose, dragging 14 year old maple through the trails.
The other dog was found later, wet and covered in mud, but Maple was not. On Thursday, Maple’s owner, Gail, said that the 14 year old terrier was spotted by a man living in the development, cowering under his deck.
Gail’s husband and daughter rushed over to be reunited with their dog.
“Maple was extremely timid and guarded after wandering around alone for six weeks; furthermore, she lost nine pounds,” Gail said.
“A full third of her previous body weight. It’s wonderful to have her back and we are praying for her full recovery. Happy endings like this are a such rare thing. Her homecoming is truly a miracle for us!”
