A Maple Ridge dog owner is overjoyed and relieved after her prized dog was discovered and returned to her after it went missing on Monday, Jan. 24.

Shrimpy was discovered Monday night by a man who noticed the German shepherd running loose along a road by the Laity Pumpkin Patch.

He was able to gather Shrimpy up and got in touch with owner Melissa Hume to return the dog.

Hume said on Saturday they received video surveillance that showed Shrimpy was running loose on Saturday, but then they had no news for two days.

91裸聊视频淚 think that because Shrimpy was in an area with so many coyotes that people kind of mistook her for a coyote because she looks so similar,91裸聊视频� said Hume.

Hume discovered Shrimpy was gone when she noticed both doors to her garage open on her Webster91裸聊视频檚 Corners property. She reported the incident to police and put up a reward for the dog91裸聊视频檚 safe return.

Shrimpy is a competitive sport dog in IGP, a German acronym for Internationale Gebrauchshunde Pr眉fungsordnung, or in English, International Working Dog Trial Regulations.

Hume said she tried to give the man who returned Shrimpy a reward but he wouldn91裸聊视频檛 accept it.

91裸聊视频淲hich I think is a really honest thing to do,91裸聊视频� she said.

Now Hume wants people to learn from her situation and make sure their dogs are tagged.

91裸聊视频淚 wish that I would have had a tag on her. Had that nice man not have seen my posts, maybe it would have taken longer for me to get her back,91裸聊视频� said Hume.

91裸聊视频淵ou never think that this could happen until it happens,91裸聊视频� added the dog owner.
