TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD! (a dog / the Australian wilderness)

4 times a day, Danny brings you “TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD”. Danny shares ‘good news stories’ / ‘feel good stories’…kind of like your ‘daily dose of optimism’. You can hear it weekdays at 6:35am / 9:10am / 1:10pm / 4:35pm.

Here’s one from TODAY:

Kangaroo Island, Australia:

This is an incredible journey about Valerie, a mini-Dachshund. This started back in November 2023, during a camping trip with her owners Georgia and Joshua. They left Valerie in their tent while they went fishing. They were only going to be gone for an hour. Their mini-Dachshund escaped. The couple spent months / hundreds of hours looking for Valerie…….but turned up NOTHING.

READY FOR THIS? One of the wildlife preserves in the area asked for one of the owners shirt and some toys from Valerie in order to attract the scent and maybe help out in the search. AFTER exactly 529 days, the Kangala Wildlife Rescue team found Valerie. This is truly a remarkable rescue in the Australian wilderness, and how this mini-Dachshund was able to survive. Valerie is now reunited with her owners!!
