Over a year and a half after going missing, a miniature dachshund has surprised everyone by being spotted alive on Australia’s Kangaroo Island.
Valerie disappeared while on vacation with her owners in November 2023. The trio, from the city of Broken Hill in New South Wales, were staying at the Stokes Bay campsite on the island when she escaped from her playpen as the couple went fishing at the nearby beach, and ran to hide under a parked car. Other campers tried to get her out, but she got spooked and ran off from the campsite into bushland.
