Prodigal Dog

There’s gotta be a sermon illustration in here somewhere!! This article was on the front page of our local paper this week –

Details of this 40-kilometre adventure will never be known, though it’s sure to be a dog-gone good tale.

Exhausted, alone and hungry, Meeko, a four-year-old Orangeville pooch, found her way home after wandering off during a day trip.

She remains tight-lipped about her journey. Meeko offered not a single bark as she laid calmly at her master’s feet while the Jansen family shared the story — what they know of it anyway — of her disappearance and ultimate return.

Eleven days earlier, this laid-back lab cross started on a quest like none she’d known before.

You’ve got to see this. To get a sense of how far this dog actually traveled to get home, check this out –

The distance starts to get impressive once you zoom out on the map. Wow!!
