I too have not posted here yet, but am definitely checking daily and hoping Boo is reunited soon safe and sound.

This is one of my worst nightmares as well, and I also have that invincible "my dog would never take off" mindset. I'm sorry you and your family are going through this.

BOO IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't have much info other than that. She is at the vet now. My mom said her legs are in pretty bad shape, but she could still walk. She even tried to jump into the car, but my mom lifted her instead. No other info except that "she will be okay." I don't know about her legs.

Based on where the tracker tracked her and where she was found, she must've crossed the 4 lane 55 mile/hour road twice. She may have been hit by a car. I thank god she is alive and found.

THANK YOU ALL. I have never been happier in my life.

Just got off the phone with my mom (I returned to school yesterday).

Boo's two front legs are injured, she is sedated at the vet right now. She was down to 51 pounds (from a slightly chubby ~64 when she was lost). She was missing 9.5 days. Front left leg is worse than front right from just looking. They are going to X-Ray. Left leg is skinned down to the bone in a part - my mom said about a 4 inch slab of skin is gone. I'm not sure about the right, but my mom said it is better than the left. They suspect she may have been hit by a car. I thank god that she is alive and repairable- she ran across a 4 lane 55 mile per hour road twice.

If bones are broken she will go to E-Vet. If not, she can get treated at our regular vet.

She apparently wandered out of the woods and went to this woman's car. They saw her and knew who she was from the flyers and an email notice that we managed to spread around. The woman and her son sat with Boo outside until my mom arrived. I want to give her a huge hug.

Boo was apparently shaking and scared, but not aggressive and recognized my mom/our car. My mom said Boo started licking her face.

I want to turn around right now and go home again.

Yay Boo!! I'm so relieved to hear that she is home safe, and I'm glad she wasn't injured more seriously running across that road!
