The 8-pound dog went missing on the rugged Kangaroo Island in Australia in November 2023 while on vacation with her owners. After a 529-day search, the pup is finally safe and back in human care.

“After weeks of tireless efforts by Kangala Wildlife Rescue volunteers and partner organizations, Valerie has been safely rescued and is fit and well. We are absolutely thrilled and deeply relieved that Valerie is finally safe and able to begin her transition back to her loving parents, Josh and Georgia.”

    Idk if I’m too illiterate or what, but I was so confused by the headline saying that the dog is missing for 529days and it took them 1000hrs to find it, I kept thinking those are not even remotely close to each other. I read the article, the 1000hrs were spent in 2025 after the dog was spotted on a camera.
