Great write up and photos.
I did start humming the theme tune to littlest hobo mind. But I would have also been "slightly" on edge had I seen the same.

Good save on the poor lad.

One my brother had...

Lincoln to Glen Etive - 350 miles. Impressive for an animal in modern times. Did the police say how long she had been missing?

The police don't have a national missing dog register, so it must have been reported lost there by the owner. My guess being that they lost it there in the first place, hence they were able to contact them.

Looks like a siberian husky indeed, maybe with a tad of shepherd.

The doggy looks like a Siberian Husky (or at least a cross). Although they may remind a lot of folks of "wild & dangerous" wolves, they actually are a super friendly breed. Makes for a bad guard dog...an intruder would probably be welcomed with wagging tail and some wet kisses. Lol!

As friendly as they are, they are also happy to explore on their own. He probably just wandered off from his owner and eventually got lost. Thanks for taking care of him!

I can confirm. I've become the caretaker of one such dog. Crossbreed Siberian husky/Alaska malamute. Sweet, gentle, loveable dog, but stupid and thickheaded. Strong as a bull too! And he isn't even fully grown!

But I can believe he gave you a good scare...

Looks a lovely place. I'm glad the dog found its way back to its owner. I bet it was a real shock seeing him turn up.
