26-year-old Codie Hutton was devastated after her beloved springer spaniel Maisie was allegedly killed after being hit by a car. She buried the dog but imagine her surprise when it turned up just days later alive and well.
Codie spent hours looking for her dog after it was spooked by a firework and ran off during a local Bonfire night. She even camped out in the field where the dog had run off. But she gave up on her efforts after receiving a call that the dog had been hit by a car and its flattened body had been found.
She took the dog home and buried it but was shocked when locals returned it alive and well.
It turned out that the animal that was found dead was likely a fox. Maisie, on the other hand, survived the incident without serious injuries.
She said they couldn’t find the microchip, but they were convinced that the animal was Maisie due to the marks they found on its legs.
Codie and her son were delighted to find out the dog was alive and well. The dog was overjoyed to be reunited with her family as well.
Although Maisie was tired and hungry after her trip, which took her on a 17-mile trek through England’s Melton, Bedfield, Helmingham, and Wickham, she suffered only a mild eye infection from the ordeal.
Codie set up a fundraiser to help the rescuers who helped during the search buy new equipment as a show of gratitude.
