Weird Wide Web - Dog lost in vehicle crash found herding sheep

Weird Wide Web - Dog lost in vehicle crash found herding sheep | News Article

A pet dog that vanished for two days after being launched from a vehicle during an accident has been found doing the job it was bred to do — herding sheep.

Linda Oswald's family and their dog, Tilly, were driving along Idaho State Highway 41 when they crashed into another car, launching the dog through the back window, The Spokesman-Review reported.  The dog wasn't hurt, but it did run away. The family began to search for Tilly, along with at least six strangers who saw the crash and stopped to help, Oswald said.

Oswald said the family then wrote a Facebook post that included a picture of the 2-year-old dog which was shared by more than 3,000 people. A few days later, Travis and Zane Potter recognized the dog in the photo as the same dog they saw on their family farm.

Both the Potters and Oswald think Tilly went to the farm because of their sheep.

"I think that dog was trying to herd," Travis Potter said.

Oswald said if it weren't for the post, the dog would still be out there.

She thinks that so many people wanted to help because they've been isolated during the pandemic. "I think people saw a time to really jump out and help, even if it was just a small thing like finding a dog," Oswald said. "There are a lot of kind people out there."
