Husky found after fleeing scene of fatal crash

SNOWVILLE, Utah – Volunteer dog lovers have tracked down a Siberian husky that was missing for two weeks after surviving a car accident that killed his owner.

Neo had been wandering the ranch land of northern Utah since April 4, when his owner, 47-year-old Joyce Moore of Kelso, Wash., was killed after her vehicle rolled over on Interstate 84.

Lt. Lee Perry of the Utah Highway Patrol said the dog had stood nearby as rescue crews attended to Moore, but fled when someone tried to catch him.

On Thursday, a man at a ranch the team had already visited waved a searcher down, saying a dog had been found in a shed. He said he backed out quickly when the dog growled, latching the door.

It was Neo — wearing the same harness and heart-shaped name tag he was wearing in photos recovered from the wrecked SUV.

"There's so much riding on Deb retrieving Neo, emotionally speaking," family friend Barbara Teasdale told the Longview (Wash.) Daily News. "This is a piece of Joyce coming home."

1. So glad the dog was found

What a story. I'm so glad the dog was found. I hope his return provides comfort to the sister.

And how heartwarming to see that people were willing to work so hard to try to find him!
