1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: And Amanda Gama. Let me tell you the story about Valerie,

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: a little miniature dashound. You say duck soundle dashound, I

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:12,040
Speaker 1: like using the German duck sound. That's halfway between both.

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: A little mini saucy called Valerie. They're the cutest dog

5
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:18,919
Speaker 1: in the world, so damn cute. This dog was a

6
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 1: year old. This story has made it even to the

7
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:24,639
Speaker 1: Washington Post. But it happened on in Kangaroo Island. So

8
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: a couple, Georgia and Joshua, were camping on Kangaroo Island

9
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 1: and they left their little miniature dash hound, Valerie, in

10
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: a playpen with toys. It's cute, isn't it, Because they

11
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,279
Speaker 1: were camping, so they left it. Valerie was occupied, had

12
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 1: little toys and things. These are the times that we live. Well.

13
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 1: They went off to go fishing at a beach nearby.

14
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: When they came back, they found that Valerie had ripped

15
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: the pen open and had escaped. This is a year old,

16
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: tiny little miniature dashound, weighing about three and a half kilos.

17
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: So they searched everywhere, but they said it was like

18
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: looking for a needle in a haystack. So they joined

19
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: a Facebook group. They checked surveillance cameras, got help from

20
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: local wildlife rescue groups did all of that. They stayed

21
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 1: for another couple of days, but they had to return

22
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: home and on the fairy Georgia has said, on the

23
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: ferry on the way home, I just sobbed and sobbed.

24
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: Six to eight months later, rescuers received calls from Kangaroo

25
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: Island from the locals saying there's a dog wearing a

26
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: pink collar wandering around the island. An unbelievable development, they said,

27
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: given that miniature dash hounds are not known for their survivors.

28
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: They're not very robust, as they've said here, of all

29
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: the dogs, this would be the last one I would

30
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: think would survive. But they do have a good sense

31
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: of smell. That's probably what's helped her in terms of

32
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: finding food. So they still hasn't been captured yet yet,

33
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 1: but there is constant sightings of her with a little

34
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: pink collar, and so she is still alive and fairing. Okay,

35
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: you'd think that that dog would be so woosy, that'd

36
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: be the way it could survive.
