Mick the Norwegian Elkhound

Where there’s a will there’s a way, and Mick, the one-year-old Norwegian Elkhound had the will to go exploring whether his leash was attached or not.

One afternoon, while Mick was out walking with his owner Sheila, something in the distance excited him and Mick being too eager, broke free from his leash, and took off! Shelia pursued him on foot while her husband tracked him in the car, but Mick was too fast for his owners to follow his tracks.

The call of the many scents took Mick just beyond his walk area down to the stream and over the hill to the next development. Sheila and her husband and their neighbors all went out to search for one-year-old Mick.

“I was devastated, but remembered he was protected with AKC Reunite,” said Shelia. “I called AKC Reunite on my cell phone while trotting back to the house to report him missing — in the hopes that Mick would come home on his own.”

While on the phone with AKC Reunite, Shelia’s husband called with a neighbor’s reported sighting of Mick. Thankfully, Mick was corralled and re-leashed, and Shelia could report back with the good news!

“AKC Reunite provided a reassuring backup,” said Shelia. “The representative I dealt was great and went above and beyond in her handling of the situation!”
