A sad track

[Eva (Lilo and Rocky)]

A friend of mine called and said her kitten had gone missing. I offered to bring Lilo over to see if she could track down the cat - after all her training, here was finally a worthy and real life mission (her 2nd only - the first one involved tracking a missing person on our mountain, which led to nothing). We arrived at my friend's house and I put Lilo's tracking harness on. She sniffed some cat toys and went straight to work. Out the door, down the street, across a neighbor's yard, back and forth across the street, and finally into a ditch about 1/4 mile away. And there was the kitten. Dead, most likely hit by a car. It was so horrible, but I had to reward Lilo for finding it. She was very proud of herself and got all excited. Of course she didn't know that the outcome was not what we humans had hoped for. RIP Kitty.

I'm sorry for the poor kitten, but I'm very impressed with Lilo!

Very sad, but how awesome for Lilo!!! Very impressive!

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

It certainly is a sad ending, but I'm so impressed with Lilo. Did you do formal tracking training with her? I have always been fascinated with the dogs that do search and rescue work.

That is awful about the kitchen, but very impressive on Lilo's part. That is bloodhound worthy!

Oh! I feel so bad for your friend. But what a good job on Lilo's part. Not happy news for your friend, but at least she has closure.

A sad outcome but Lilo sounds like she could give a bloodhound competition.

Sorry about your friend's kitty....
