Dog Who Vanished Found Seven Months Later

Posted: December 25, 2011 at 5:36 a.m.

Jet, left, and his friend, Nikki, pose Thursday with Chaddie Platt at her business, Dog Party USA in Tontitown. Jet was found seven months after escaping from Fayetteville Animal Services staff while on an outing at the Fayetteville square. He recognized Nikki from his time with her at Wedington Animal Hospital after he was rescued from an animal hoarder, allowing him to be captured and placed into foster care at Dog Party USA.

When volunteers with the Humane Society of the Ozarks took a young German shepherd mix to the local farmers’ market last May, they had no idea a seven-month odyssey was about to begin.
