A lost dog helped get herself back home after she recognized her parents on television. How did it happen? The Bichon Poodle named Tabitha got lost when she was out for a walk with her dad, Alfred Schaefer.
Alfred has Alzheimer’s and had wandered from home. When his wife, Kelly went out looking for them, she could only find Alfred. “I had a decision to make and it was either get my husband or my dog. I couldn’t get both,” said Kelly. She went back out looking for Tabitha but could not find her.
