San Diego dog lost for 9 days walks 35 miles home

An 8-year-old Shar Pei mix named Georgia made an incredible 35-mile trek to her Carlsbad, Calif., home after getting lost nine days earlier in a park.

Owner Kris Anderson told the San Diego Union-Tribune the dog simply got lost chasing after some rabbits on June 27 at the Los Penasquitos Canyon Preserve and after hours of fruitless searching she was told by authorities the animal probably wouldn't survive in the coyote-filled region.

Anderson never gave up hope and continued to visit the area in search of Georgia. But the canine gave her an amazing surprise Monday morning when she walked into their house 35 miles away and woke up her owner who was sleeping in her bed.

I was thinking 'what?' 'How could this be? Am I dreaming or is this really happening?

So happy for Georgia and her hooman!
