Devil Dog


All those times that Sheba (the devil dog Husky) ran away from home could have been easily solved. That dumb dog would jump a 6 foot fence; dig under a 6 foot fence; run through electrically charged cattle wire; ignore the Invisible Fence dog shocking collar; break through a screen door just to get away from a family who loved and fed her. She would go miles and miles away and lose her way back home. People would call from the next town saying Sheba was sleeping on their doorstep. One time she tried to eat a bunny in a hutch. A motorcycle man found her at a gas station on a busy highway. Another time she was sitting on the deck of a guy barbecuing steaks. When he came out to flip them, there was a big Husky staring at the grill waiting for a bite. Linda would ride all over town calling out of the car looking for her until someone called to report her found. This family who lost their 10-year old lab had a great idea. The whole family peed in a jar. They sprinkled the scent around town making a trail back to their house. I'm sure he'll be home in no time. (Actual photo of Sheba)
