Hopefully he doesn't start to get ideas after a 3 day adventure!

I still can't believe people were out looking on thanksgiving day. Gives me a whole new appreciation for the holiday.

This has restored my faith in humanity. My thanks goes out to small town Pilot Butte and their surrounding people, and all the effort that they put in to find my little man. I was giving up hope, but I CANNOT BELIEVE how much random strangers cared about the plight of some strangers they don't even know. I cannot even BEGIN to describe how thankful I am right now. Offers to put people up for the night over thanksgiving, tireless searches, offers to help, smalltown sasky really is amazing.

This is really one of the best days of my life. I'm on a 12 hour flight to Sydney, Australia this afternoon and I feel like celebrating!!!!!!!
Wow! That is awesome news! Just goes to show you that people really do care.

The people of Pilot Butte should get some recognition for what they did. Send a letter to the towns council and have that person publicly recognised for what they did.

Finally I can make a joke about watching your dog run away for hours while in saskatchewan.

Congrats on getting him back... can't imagine the feeling.

In recognition of their efforts, the next time I drive through their town, I will do so without snickering about the name of their town.

I'm just glad he wasn't found anywhere near Uren.

Great news. I'm happy that little guy was found. Wonderful story Tron. It does renew one's faith in humanity when things like this happen and work out. Fantastic news.
