It all started at Kangaroo Island in Australia. It’s about an incredible journey about a mini-Dachshund named Valerie.
This story actually starts back in November 2023. It was 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.
One of the wildlife preserves in the area asked for one of the owners shirts, and a toy from Valerie in order to attract the scent and maybe help out in the search.
What happened next? AFTER exactly 529 days, the Kangala Wildlife Rescue team found Valerie. The story has made international headlines, because it’s truly a remarkable rescue in the Australian wilderness. How did this mini-Dachshund survive? We’ll never know.
Valerie is now reunited with her owners!
