Amazing dog story in our news...

Sadly, no news. I've been watching every day, and I know they would do a follow-up because alot of people would be so happy, especially the family. I still have hope, but then again I can't believe he wouldn't show up at someone's house. He obviously is a very loving dog. Believe me, if I hear anything about him being found...I will be on here shouting!

Major, the hero Boxer, is alive and back at home!
Dear all,
My girlfriend told me about this amazing story a few days ago and she too was waiting for news..that never came. I don't know why they didnt follow up with this story but the good news is Major is back home and safe...and healthy. I googled this news story (after considerable effort) and came across this forum whilst I was searching, so I registered especially to let you all know the happy ending too!
God is great...all the time!
Ciao,
Anthony
Four-Legged Hero Back Home in Ligonier
Ligonier (KDKA) It's what a local family has been hoping for since their protective pooch disappeared after fighting off a black bear: their four-legged hero is back home safe and sound with the family.
Bill and Dawn Rusko have been hailing their boxer, "Major," a hero for potentially saving their children from bear attack outside their Ligonier home last Sunday.
The family dog went after the bear -- twice -- as it headed straight the front yard where Corey Rusko, 11, was playing with his sister and cousin.
"I owe him my life. He's a brave, strong dog -- and he really deserves to live a full, healthy life!" -- Corey Rusko
Major had been missing since he chased the bear back into the woods.
Last night, though, the family found their beloved pet in the woods about a mile from home.
Major lost a little weight and a few wounds, but is otherwise okay.
His family welcomed him home with his favorite food -- pork chops.

OMG..Anthony...THANKS SO MUCH for the update! I happened to peek in the forum and this caught my eye. I confess...maybe they DID follow-up on the story, but who always watches the HOURS of news?!! I'm so happy...love the happy ending. My friends had a boxer named Comet. Their dog was such a wonderful, dedicated family dog that after her passing they vowed to never get another...they feel they could never replace such a beloved pet. I think I love boxers even more now..... Course, I think many of our pets would do the same. I really appreciate you making the effort to give us this news. THANKS again.
