If you have a pet at home, then one of your biggest fears is probably losing that pet one way or another: that dog, cat, or bird could pass away at any time, or even find him or herself lost in the wilderness.
So when Louis' owner, Janina Pietrzyk, realized that her beloved pooch had escaped from the family car, she was devastated. She and her husband spent the next two weeks in April 2014 trying to find him and requesting the help of others by hanging up flyers all over town.
The couple feared the worst had happened to little Louis, the eight-pound papillon. After a few weeks, and then a few months, they thought they would never see him again.
But luckily, they were wrong!
Two years after the tiny pup's disappearance, Pietrzyk received a phone call from the area's Animal Control unit. They had seen a lost-looking dog wandering around the interstate and set up traps for it. When the dog fell into one, they were able to determine that this was, in fact, Louis!
Now, Pietrzyk is calling the pup her little miracle. She has no idea how he was able to survive two full years out in the wild, all by himself — which means that he had to find food and water and survive the winter on his own. But now that he's home, she couldn't be more thankful!
Please SHARE if you think this is one miracle pup who can teach us a thing or two about surviving in the wild!
