After 529 days a lost dachshund in Australia

« It was excluded to let that sausage dog run away again » said Jared Karran, director of the Kemalla, in the post -social media post. Valerie’s owners, Georgia Gardner and Josh Fishlock, are said to be very happy to find their beloved pet.

Had a special trap

The team revealed that Valerie was caught with a special trap. A special, comfortable trap -with a webcam and remote system -was designed to cheat Valerie. Was characterized by the fact that « It’s like having your own little room with your home toys and beds, mom’s clothes, hidden foods and challenges that entertain ».

In about two weeks, familiar objects were gradually added, starting with Valerie’s play. Although the dachshund did not recognize things right away, these were small moments that retreated him to rest. Later, more and more pieces were added from a T -shirt, which was worn by its owner, Georgia, at 12 hours.

After Valerie was comfortably trapped and trapped, she just had to wait for her to come back and be in the right position. The tiny 4 kg dog He came in and searched for hidden food sets and finally ended up in the back corner of the cage. At that moment, Jared pressed the button and lowered the door from a distance. Valerie allegedly treated her capture well and calmly, and at first she ran, tried to find a way out, and then drowned.

The Kemanian team expected Valerie to be in survival mode because of the so -called « lost dog syndrome », which is a stress reaction to help the dog protect itself. « Your mental health was one of the things we were most worried about » said Lisa Karran, the other director.

In addition to familiar objects and smells, the rescuers made sure to move slowly as Valerie was trapped. « We went along with normal things like houses, people, scents, other animals. These are all things that need to be re -introduced and learned » said Lisa, who said the food played a big role.

« Of course they had your favorites – roast chicken and your favorite dog food – these were the first things that helped him recognize that we were safe and that we are not a danger » he declared.

Masters of repests from joy

Valerie’s owners, Georgia and Josh, were supposedly delighted when they heard the news that their dog is safeand you can return home soon. First of all, Valerie has to stay on the island for at least a week to relax.

« We want to give him the best way to give him a beautiful owner and we do not want to cause him any further trauma or stress. Because there is no doubt that there would have been a lot of things out there in 16 months » – they said.
