Tripawds parents like us tend to be very protective, and worried about our three-legged heroes. This story about a dog who survived 246 days on his own during an Iowa winter, shows once again that three-legged animals are tougher and more resilient than we can ever imagine!
Kinnick, the 3-legged dog on his own for 246 days, reunites with UI student.
Adopted dog skirts live traps, food in city-wide search
After 246 days expertly navigating the sprawling landscape of Iowa City on his own, shedding live traps and surviving a treacherous Iowa winter, Kinnick, the three-legged dog, has reunited with his owner, Annabelle Lewis
Paws of Hope Animal Rescue, a nonprofit, announced the heart-warming news on Facebook Wednesday.
Kinnick's intelligence, elusiveness and survival instincts were evident throughout the entire search, as he'd often pick precise moments to appear - typically to steal a few bites of food. Kinnick was often deceptive during the rescue teams' pursuit and they had a bit of trouble pinning him to a single location.
The animal was in his element as he worked his way across the city, surviving purely off instinct.
