Lola getting care at the vet's after her harrowing ordealAfter a major fire badly damaged a home in Boston, the family dog, Lola, could not be found. Her owners assumed she had either run away or been killed in the fire.
But when one of her owners went back to the home yesterday, she made an amazing find: “…she actually heard this scratching from behind the door and she related to us that she had to break down the door, and she discovered Lola there. So Lola had been living in this locked property for about a month, ” Brian Adams, of the MSPCA, said in a report on WHDH.
She rushed the long-haired dachshund to the vet, where she’s getting hydration and other care for her woes. Amazingly, Lola may be going to her new home as early as today. There was no word from Lola’s owner, but we can only imagine she was overjoyed — and maybe kicking herself a little for not going back to the house sooner.
How did Lola survive? Would your dog be able to survive if something happened and he were left alone in your house for a week or two or a month? I guess that’s why I’ve heard people say to always leave the toilet lid up, since it’s a ready source of water. (And many a dog’s dream of the best tasting water in the house.) I wish Lola could divulge her survival secrets. Please share your contingency plans, or your ideas for how your dog could get by in a similar situation.
Here’s to a speedy recovery — both physical and mental — from Lola’s terrible ordeal!
