A large white dog that had been walking the streets of a small town for nearly four months was doomed to be alone.
Megan Allen, a Los Angeles animal rescuer, discovered the Great Pyrenees after he began hanging outside a woman’s home. To save “Miles,” she travelled two hours to Buttonwillow, California.
Miles accepted several sweets from her hand but refused to be leashed. Miles didn’t want to be caught, so the fire dept pitched in.
Megan sought help from Danny Spanks of A Safefuur Place Animal Rescue, as well as Mad Love Dog Rescue and the Kris Kelly Foundation, after she was unsuccessful in rescuing Miles the first day.
Soon later, rescuers rushed to Miles’ aid!
When Miles strayed into a fence area and hung out with a stray Husky, Danny, with the help of new member Courtney, caught him (the husky, named Luna, was returned home to her owner).
Miles may have been wary after being alone for so long, but after Courtney placed a leash around his neck, Miles seemed eager to leave the streets. When Megan came to pick him up to take him back to Los Angeles, Miles was beaming.
Look at that pleased expression in the video at the end!
The days of wandering the streets for miles have come to an end! Mad Love Dog Rescue found Miles a foster home after he was examined by a veterinarian.
“We were notified after he was recovered after what we’ve been informed was a year as a stray,” the rescue adds. “That’s an awfully long time. We named him Miles, which seemed appropriate given his extensive travels.” (Editor’s note: it’s unclear if Miles was a stray for a year or four months.) It’s too long in any case.
