On their way to their vacation home, the owners of a dog named Izzy were surprised to see her jump out of the vehicle and find herself in the middle of the highway. Hit by a vehicle, it then vanished into the woods. For nearly 2 days, dozens of local residents helped the family in their search for the animal.
After a runaway and an accident, a dog was found safe and sound and returned to her owners, thanks to a tremendous outpouring of solidarity from the local community, reported WLUC.
On Monday, July 18, Meagan Glesser and his father Tom Glesser, a former military and civilian pilot, had traveled from their Florida home to their summer home in the Upper Peninsula region of Michigan. Their female dog Izzy accompanied them.
