Gotta love the work ethic!

According to KHQ.com, the 2-year-old border collie was ejected from the rear of his owner's GMC Yukon during a car accident on Sunday in Rathdrum, Idaho. Tilly fled the scene of the collision after being launched from the vehicle.

Luckily, after several days of steady searching, Tilly's family reunited with their beloved canine. A Facebook post about the missing dog, which animal lovers shared over 3,000 times, led the lost pup back to his loved ones.

On Tuesday, siblings Tyler and Travis Potter noticed something weird about their Australian shepherd Hooey while watching the dog on their family farm, according to The Spokesman-Review. Hooey looked different, and upon closer inspection, Tyler and Travis figured out why. The dog out there wasn't Hooey at all, but Tilly, who managed to find his way to the Potter Farm, 1.5 miles from the crash site.

After getting a good look at their new dog, the siblings recognized the canine as Tilly, the missing dog they saw on Facebook. Shortly after discovering the pooch's true identity, a Kootenai County Sheriff's Office deputy drove by the Potter farm looking for Tilly, conveniently allowing the Potter siblings to send the dog home.

Tilly, tired but unharmed, hitched a ride with the deputy, who reunited the border collie with his family. Shortly after Tilly's departure, the Potters realized that the dog had done a bit of work on the farm - the family found all of the farm's sheep out of the pasture on Tuesday morning.

3. Does anyone remember the Monk epsode when he had amnesia?

He ended up way away from S.F. on a farm with a woman who claims he is her husband. Woman played by Laurie Metcalf.

In spite of his injuries, his detective instincts kick in
