Monster, a pit bull, and her owner, Keith Soffes, went out on a boat together. The two of them had a good time until the dog suddenly went missing. Keith suspected that the dog had fallen into the water.
Keith searched the coast for hours, but he couldn’t find his dog. After a while, he posted a plea for help on social media. Then, finally, a woman responded and gave him the dog’s location. Keith immediately went to the place, and there he found Monster looking exhausted but otherwise well.
The dog likely swam several miles to reach the shore. Keith is happy to have his dog back, and he promises to keep a better eye on him in the future. Owning a dog can be as much work as having three small children.
They are cute, fun, and entertaining, but they also require a lot of your attention and care. Dogs need us to be a part of their lives. So, if you want to get a pet dog, think about what kind of dog is best for your lifestyle and whether you’re prepared for the responsibility of owning one.
Dogs need proper supervision at all times. There must always be someone with them because they might get hurt or escape. It’s not a happy time for pet owners when their dogs get lost.
No one can certainly guarantee the safety of your pet better than you. So, if leaving your dog with a friend or family member will make you and your pet happy, go for it. Not only will they keep your pet company, but they can also provide them with plenty of love and attention.
You might also try searching for a local pet sitter in your area. There are many companies and individuals out there who offer pet sitting services. You might also ask your vet for recommendations.
