Well, my cat only threw up on the carpet a little bit today, so which animal is the real hero?
Have you checked your shoes?
When I was a toddler I followed my dog into the woods. I don’t have any memory of it but my parents said I was gone for hours and then suddenly we both just came walking out, perfectly fine. Thanks, Andy, for protecting me that day.
Again? That’s twice in a week!
What keeps compelling toddlers from Michigan to run off into the woods with their family’s dogs?
If you were stuck in Michigan and didn’t have a phone to scroll lemmy, you’d go explore the woods with your gigantic battle dog, wouldn’t you?
Brooke Chase, Thea’s mother, said she had an instinct to check on her daughter who had been playing in the yard, and learned the toddler’s uncle told Thea to go inside because she had no shoes on.
When Chase and her brother-in-law realized Thea wasn’t in the house, she said she began to yell. They searched for about 20 minutes before calling Chase’s husband and police.
I’m curious what her mother and uncle were doing while her dad is away and she was playing alone in the yard. Where I live, kids that age have been attacked by coyotes, even when supervised, and that’s in a suburb of a major city, not rural Michigan.
The dog is possibly the responsible parent here.
I don’t think she was playing alone in the yard. The uncle was there and told her to go inside and she ignored him. As for coyotes, with a rottie and springer in the yard, no coyote would be an issue.
However, if you tell the kid to go inside by their mom, tell the mom that you did so. Uncle was a dumb shit. You can’t count on a three year old to do as they’re told.
Dogs are truly remarkable animals.
Springers are mad as a box of frogs but usually quite intelligent. Rotties tend to be very protective, loyal dogs, so I’m not surprised the toddler was found with them. Good boys!
Good dog Carl!
We don’t deserve dogs
