Lost Dog Runs 10 Miles to Ring Doorbell of Animal Shelter Where She Used to Live

The staffers at the animal shelter knew Bailey was a bit of a challenge. The dog had lived at the El Paso Animal Rescue for most of her life and was known to be a bit of an escape artist. Her first owner returned her to the shelter because she got loose. After living a few weeks with her second owner, Bailey returned herself. On Jan. 29, her new owner was fitting her with a new harness when she slipped out of his grasp and started running—10 miles back to the shelter, where she rang the doorbell to be let in.

"She was fast. She cleared a 7-foot wall and it was about a ten-foot drop to the other side," owner Micah Baer told local station KVIA. "I was worried I was never going to get her back. I've only had her for a month. She's already made herself a part of our family." Read on to find out more about how it all went down and where Bailey is now.
