Michigan Shelter Faces Days-Long Struggle To Reunite Two Abandoned Dogs

When word reached a Michigan shelter that two pups had been abandoned in the middle of nowhere, staff wasted no time preparing.

They gathered their equipment, organized a small team, and headed for the location.

Because rescues like these were part of their routine, the staff expected things to be fairly simple.

They never guessed the effort would stretch out for several long days.

A Test Of Patience

When the rescuers eventually spotted the pair, they managed to catch Nutmeg, the female pup, without much difficulty.

Her brother, Barney, was another story.

For five exhausting days, the team tried every method to track him down. They organized searches to follow his path, set up traps, and even checked neighborhood cameras for sightings.

Still, Barney slipped past them each time.
