Valerie the Daring Dachshund and How Dogs Survive When Lost


My latest post at Psychology Today looks at the story of a valiant dog who is missing on an Australian island.

News that a 4kg miniature Dachshund is still alive after going missing on Kangaroo Island, Australia,
more than a year ago, set me thinking about how dogs can survive
without people. 

Valerie, the miniature Dachshund, was recently sighted
16 months after she first went missing, and now a local rescue has set
cameras and traps to catch her. It’s not known how Valerie has survived
this long and whether local people have helped her—although, given that
she is wearing a pink collar, you would think that anyone who saw her
would mention it, just like the person who spotted her and told the
rescue. So it seems most likely that she has survived on her own.
