The Forteau family is glad that in safety and sound in their home in the Mini Daschund is able to survive only two nights in the freezing southern Labrador desert.
The nine -month -old Gilbert always had something to pursue rabbits, according to the owner, Kara Sulie and believes that the view of one Tuesday night was enough to send him into a sprint.
After the darkness fell at the initial search, Sully said he was afraid of the worst.
“I was sure we wouldn’t find it. It’s too small and it was so cold,” Sulie told CBC Radio Friday. “We have a lot of coyotes and wolves around where we are. So I really didn’t think we would find it.”
To add to the things arranged against Gilbert, there were wind values of -39 C on Tuesday evening, Sully said, along with other wind chops during -30 on Wednesday and Thursday.
When the sun rose, it was Serious said that the members of the community were ready to help. She estimates that more than 30 people have participated in the search at one point, including the use of several drones and thermal chambers by the police.
Gilbert’s lifting with a live trap was successful and the family reunited on Thursday.
“We followed his tracks to where he was behind our property. And after a while we heard him whine,” she said. “As we approached the live traps a little, and then everyone just ran.”
Now home again and receiving additional hasty, Sulie said that Gilbert was acting as if nothing had happened without injuries or signs of frost.
She theorizes Gilbert, managed to stay warm in a heavy bush, as seekers managed to find areas of melted snow where he probably rests on his travels.
And what could he eat? Sulie suggested one of her favorite – rabbit food.
