RosieB次元官网网址檚 ordeal is finally over after 62 days on the run.

The lost dog originally from Korea was captured safely by Petsearchers Canada on Sunday afternoon in Chilliwack.

B次元官网网址淪he doing fine,B次元官网网址� said Al MacLellan of Petsearchers Canada, a pet recovery and bloodhound tracking service based in Surrey. B次元官网网址淪heB次元官网网址檚 a very sweet little dog.B次元官网网址�

He managed to rescue the Jindo-cross dog by tracking her nightly with a thermal drone, among other of his signature search techniques, with many successful searches under his belt.

B次元官网网址淪heB次元官网网址檇 been out there a long time,B次元官网网址� MacLellan said about B次元官网网址淩osie,B次元官网网址� as they called her, who was originally named B次元官网网址淩ose.B次元官网网址�

He says heB次元官网网址檚 become a little attached to the dog, as he often does. It happens before he even finds the dog heB次元官网网址檚 searching for, but he knows he canB次元官网网址檛 take them all home.

MacLellan had been on way out to Chilliwack on June 25, with son Parker, and daughter London, around lunch time. They had a trap set-up in a blocked-off alleyway, when another call came in with a fresh sighting of Rosie.

This time would be the charm.

B次元官网网址淲e found her underneath a back deck,B次元官网网址� he said. It was under the deck structure at a home near Reese Avenue and Corbould Street in Chilliwack.

He was being careful not to spook her as he approached. He could see there wasnB次元官网网址檛 enough room to throw the net over the dog.

B次元官网网址淚 started talking to her quietly,B次元官网网址� he said. B次元官网网址淭hey donB次元官网网址檛 know if youB次元官网网址檙e there to hurt them or help them.B次元官网网址�

He put the catch pole around her, gently scooped her into his van.

B次元官网网址淪he was very calm, and stayed with me all night,B次元官网网址� MacLellan said. B次元官网网址淪he allowed me to pet her, and check her over.B次元官网网址�

Rosie was safe, after going missing on April 24. She escaped from her adoptive home in downtown Chilliwack.

It was the owner of Koastal Dog Rescue on Vancouver Island who first reached out to Petsearchers Canada to find Rosie soon after she escaped, he said.

Once on the search MacLellan would drive out to Chilliwack almost daily, setting traps, feed station, following sightings, with 300 posters that went up to encourage calls about sightings.

B次元官网网址淪he was everywhere,B次元官网网址� he said, citing calls about sightings from Airport Road, Skwah First Nation, Downtown to Prest Road.

In the past they have brought in bloodhounds in certain searches but in this case it was the thermal drone that did the trick.

B次元官网网址淪he was so fast and small, she would just disappear,B次元官网网址� he said when she was on the run, and sticking close to the edge of buildings.

But from the drone they could track the dogB次元官网网址檚 movements from the air.

He appreciated all the calls from neighbours trying to help, and those who followed the searchersB次元官网网址� specific requests not to put food out, or call to the dog.

B次元官网网址淧eople were so kind and helpful,B次元官网网址� MacLellan said. B次元官网网址淩osie had a pretty big following.B次元官网网址�

Volunteer Karen McKay, whoB次元官网网址檇 been helping with the search, said she was speechless when Rosie was finally safe and sound.

B次元官网网址淚t was incredible,B次元官网网址� she said. B次元官网网址淎l was so calm. He has a heart of gold and is so good at what he does.B次元官网网址�

He never gave up and stayed positive, she said.

B次元官网网址淗e knew he was going to catch her,B次元官网网址� McKay said. B次元官网网址淲hen he was approaching her, he was talking to her so quietly, telling her she was safe, saying B次元官网网址榃eB次元官网网址檝e got you now.B次元官网网址橞次元官网网址�

Rosie was expected to head to a veternarianB次元官网网址檚 office for a complete check-up on Monday.
