A young Kansas woman has been reunited with her lost dog 19 days after a tragic car crash killed her mother and flung her dog through the window.
โWe were just driving along having a conversation and the next thing we knew we were going over the edge,โ Samantha told KOAA News.
Jennifer did not survive the accident and Samantha had to be airlifted to hospital. But Bentley, their 1-year-old Golden Doodle, disappeared on the scene.
Samantha began searching for Bentley after being released from hospital. No one knew if he had survived the crash, but she refused to give up hope.
The community pitched in to help find the dog, and a Facebook group, Bring Bentley Home, began to share information.
Samantha made the arduous hour-long hike to get up to the spot where Bentley was seen.
After weeks apart, Bentley was traumatized and seemed uncertain and hesitant to approach her. But with Samanthaโs gentle coaxing, Bentley slowly approaches her until he was finally back in her arms.
She later shared that Bentley is in good spirits and good health and that hit has been โnothing but tears and celebrationโ since finding him. โBentley is okay, heโs a little malnourished and dehydrated. But otherwise no noticeable injuries.
