Kamloops Daily News
KAMLOOPS, B.C. — In the eyes of many, this dog was just a typical black lab cross with white front socks.
Deb Chaplain already had two dogs of her own, but this one latched onto her daughter at the family's home near Walhachin, a small town about 65 kilometres west of Kamloops in the B.C. Interior.
She called neighbours and was told the medium-sized dog had been seen around for a few days, going to the river for water.
"Nobody knew the dog or the description," she said earlier this week.
So Chaplain called the Kamloops SPCA to see if anyone had reported the dog missing.
"My daughter's called her Suki. The dog was really well behaved and obviously loved. You can tell by the temperament."

For whatever reason that reminds me of that montage on the Simpsons of how Mr. Burns' bear 'Bobo' travelled from him as a kid to the arctic.

In a March of the Penguins meets Homeward Bound kind of way... it'd be very interesting to follow a dog's journey like this.
Not nearly as impressive, but when we were kids and moved houses, twice our cat ran away back to the old house immediately after the move, despite being moved in a cardboard box he couldn't see out of.

That'll teach you for cutting air holes in the box....
Let's see a stupid cat travel across the country like this.
When I was growing up in Botswana we had a cat who was pretty self-sufficient. She'd come in to eat every once in a while, but mostly lived on lizards and other small prey. When we moved she was adopted by a couple Peace Corps volunteers in a town about 40 km away. She hung around with them for a while, then disappeared. A few months later she showed up back at our old house. I'm sure she got there on her own, as she wouldn't let anyone near her when she was outside. Cases like this apparently friendly dog, I suspect are transported by people and then wander off later.
