Dog's World: What has happened to Haggis?

If you are wondering, as I am, what has happened to Haggis, the Scottish deer hound which escaped from a car after an accident, then we are not alone. If you recall, the other dog in the accident, a greyhound, was killed by a car, shortly after the accident.

What Happened to Haggis? - December 20, 2007

I sincerely feel for these people, and I hope they find Haggis soon. I also saw a similar story in Arizona when a service dog got loose due to an accident.

My dogs never travel without them.
