Shaggy Dog Story to end all shaggy dog stories A Happy Reunion, though: It was a little over three hours of painful separation from Maggie Mahan and her two pound mini-Australian Shepherd. When the unusual Happy Reunion brought them back together again, it had nothing to do with ColumbiaMagazine.com and a community of caring animal lovers. It must have been, Maggie Mahan postulates, to the credit of lessons from her cats. Lola is safe and sound and hungry Click on headline for the complete story with a photo of Lola, Home Again By Ed Waggener This may be the most unusual lost dog story ever on ColumbiaMagazine.com. This afternoon, Bo Murphy called to introduce Maggie Mahan, whose dog, a two-pound mini-Australian Shepherd was missing. A few moments later Maggie sent photos and a classified ad to post on ColumbiaMagazine.com. That was at 4:34pmCT. She said that Maggie had run away when frightened by a loud motorcycle. The photo of the little dog was of an absolutely adorable dog. It was easy to see why she was almost frantic. At 5:33pm, Maggie wrote, "She normally sticks tight to my feet, but she was too scared before I could do much. I think she might have gone towards Greensburg Street or on the Square." intending for that to be posted with the message, "Please call me if you see her." From the time she discovered the little dog missing, she began a walking and then a driving search. "I must have driven an hour and a half or more," she said. She has a special whistle she's trained Lola to respond to, but everywhere she went, and blew it, there was no answer. Back at ColumbiaMagazine we knew how many animal lovers there are in the Greensburg Street area and theorized that someone had found Lola, took her into protective custody, call the animal shelter and finding it closed, decided to protect the dog until they could see or hear of such a dog which might be missing. Maggie had to get a fill-up during her drives around the neighborhood. She kept her phone with her, in case ColumbiaMagazine.com's lost dog bulletin were seen with a call to come and get Lola. But the magazine ad had no impact on her next surprise. She went out on her back porch and called for Lola. She heard a weak wimper, and thought it was coming from underneath the porch. "I even removed some of the lattice work," she said. But Lola wasn't there. Then the wimper got a beat louder. The sound was coming from inside her car's engine compartment. She looked inside and found the tiny dog, dirty and a bit tired from the stress of her odyssey, but otherwise ok. How she got there is a mystery. And how she was able to stay there and not get hurt during the drives around the neighborhood, all the way to the Columbia Cemetery and all the way to the gas station is an even bigger puzzle. But there Lola was. Safe but tired and dirty, and happy to see Maggie again. And the promised "the rest of the story," came at 7:11pm. "I found her!!!," Maggie wrote. "She was hidden in my engine compartment. I don't know how she wasn't hurt from me driving alll over the place. Thanks for everything." And, as promised, she sent another photo, of Lola back in her domain, back safe in her home on West Fortune Street. This story was posted on 2016-06-04 19:40:50
