LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A dog-loving Nebraska trucker has taken a lost pooch on a long haul back to its family in Arizona.
Trucker Jimmy Dimmitt was in Ashland preparing for a trip to California when he heard about Koda, a 95-pound bull mastiff, needing a lift back home to get to her owners in Arizona. Koda was returned to her owners, Dani and Jason Windham, on Monday.
Koda went missing on Aug. 4, the day the Windhams were planning to marry at Holmes Lake in Nebraska.
Before the wedding ceremony, Koda and the family’s other two large dogs, Finn and Hooch, knocked down a fence and took off from the Windham’s home. Finn and Hooch were found by animal control but Koda wasn’t. The Windhams moved seven days later to Arizona after Koda went missing.
Koda was found last Wednesday after a farmer reported a dog chasing his cattle near Wahoo.
