    herpawgang So I heard about a dog that went missing on Christmas Day and had been lost for over two days. The dog was shy around both people and other dogs, and with New Year's Eve fast approaching, I decided to take Wixen out on another search mission . I canceled all my plans and set out to meet Trude, who had reported the dog missing.

    Trude had received information from some cabin owners who had seen the dog sleeping on their doorstep when they arrived, but it had fled into the forest as soon as they showed up. The dog had injured its paws, leaving a trail of bl d we could follow The cabin owners had tried to follow the tracks the night before without any luck.

    The deep snow that reached our knees pushed us well beyond our comfort zone, to say the least . Eventually, we reached an area where we lost the trail due to bare ground. At that point, we were completely reliant on Wixen. And once again, Wixen understood her task perfectly...

    Wixen is standing right in front of the missing dog. She's lying under a tree. She gets up quickly, assessing in that moment whether to flee or not. Trude and I have had a plan all along. Since Trude knows the dog, Plan A is for her to try approaching the dog and see if the dog seeks her out.

    Trude, understandably, gets extremely happy when she realizes Wixen and I had found the dog. She is freaking out a bit, and plan A is about to go out the window I realize that my job now is to help her stay calm so we can stick to the plan. Trude follows every instruction perfectly and works like a hero

    herpawgang In this video I'm speaking to the human, and not to the dog. In situations like this it's crucial to stay calm, because the flight risk of the other dog was extremely high. Therefore my main focus was on calming the human down, so hopefully the dog would approach her

    kotokrol27 What I'm really surprised of is that the searching dog is not rushing to communicate with the found dog, it keeps a distance and looks completely not interested in socializing with another dog. That seems amazing to me as normally dogs trying to get to know each other right away. I guess it's a part of training!
