Every autumn, Melissa Buescher and her family make a
pilgrimage to Red Lodge, Montana. This year she brought her dog, Leo. (I’m not sure
what breed Leo is, but he looks like a big, fluffy lion. So, maybe a chow-chow?)
Near the end of their trip, they visited Mystic Lake. Melissa and Leo decided
to hike to the summit, while the rest of the family stayed near the beach. At
some point, Leo ran off. Melissa thought he'd gone back to the beach, but he hadn’t.
The family searched for hours, but Leo was simply gone. That was early in
October. Melissa returned to her home in Minnesota, wondering if she’d ever see
Leo again. Meanwhile, residents of Fishtail, Montana noticed a stray dog. They
offered Leo treats, but it was several weeks before Leo let them get close
enough to catch him and reunite him with Melissa. I know I’ve shared stories like this before, but I’m a
sucker for lost-and-found tales. And for dogs.
