Days After It Went Missing, Dog Leads His Owner To Find His Other Pet

<div><p>In an unbelievable turn of events, a dog owner who offered a reward for his missing pet will end up paying his <strong>own dog</strong>.</p><p>This strange situation came about when Kolo and Flo, Simon Dillon's pet terriers, went missing from his farm in Reddish, England.</p><p>Dillon looked around his property for the dogs, then did what any good pet owners does: he made a social media asking people to be on the lookout for his missing pets. The farmer even offered a £500 ($600) reward for the animals.</p><div><amp-twitter height="472" width="375" layout="responsive" data-tweetid="842337181578498048"></amp-twitter></div><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p></p><p>People in Dillon's small community were happy to help. The <a href="http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/missing-dog-kolo-rescue-lassie-12764927">Manchester Evening News</a><strong> </strong>reports that Dillon's Facebook post about the missing dogs was shared over 10,000 times. </p><p>But after days of searching the dogs still hadn't turned up, and Dillon was beginning to lose hope.</p><p>Then, Kolo arrived back at the farm. The dog was tired and dirty, but otherwise perfectly healthy.</p><p>Desperate to see if Kolo could track Flo down, Dillon took her to the field where the two dogs went missing. It was a long shot, but he said he thought "anything was worth a try" to find her.</p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/JS114797363.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/JS114797363_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img><figcaption class="op-vertical-center"><cite>Manchester Evening News</cite></figcaption></figure></div><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p></p><p>Thankfully, Dillon's idea paid off. Kolo lead the farmer and his son to a fox hole. The little dog started barking, and even tried to jump down the hole.</p><p>Knowing Flo must be inside, the two men spent hours digging almost 6 feet. They found Flo at the bottom of the hole, trapped underneath a rock.</p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/03/Doggo2.jpg" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img><figcaption class="op-vertical-center"><cite>Manchester Evening News</cite></figcaption></figure></div><p>While he did the hard work, Dillon says Kolo is the one who rescued Flo.</p><p>""I don't think we ever would've found her without Kolo," he said. "We'd have been wondering those fields forever. Everyone on the farm is so happy to have them both back!"</p><p>He's even given the reward money to Kolo! Hopefully she buys lots of treats and toys with the cash, because she deserves it!</p><p><strong>Share this incredible animal rescue with someone who loves dogs!</strong></p></div>
