Athena, a shephard husky mix in Florida escaped her crate, ditched her collar, and was on the lam for over a week before returning home on her own, ringing the video doorbell to be let in on Christmas Eve. Classic dog, coming back for the milk and cookies.

She roamed far and wide for nine days while her family frantically searched for her. Throughout the search, her family received reports of her travels from owners of doorbell cams all over the area. Her family rushed to the locations of the reports, some ten miles away, only to find her gone by the time they arrived.

Ten miles away — you sure that was the same dog? What is this, Homeward Bound 3? There’s no way any of my dogs would be able to find their way back home from 10 miles away, because I’ve seen them all get lost and panic in the backyard before, and it’s only 1/4 acre and fenced. You can never not see the house.
