Dog sitter lost my moms dog

We went away on vacation this past week and got a call from the dog sitter. She is a professional, and called to tell us that the dog disappeared while on a walk with our two other dogs. Insane?! So we got. The car and flew back (even tho we were about 6hrs away)! The dog was missing for 8 hrs but luckily, one of the vets we called knew someone who had found a dog that evening.

So we got her back around 1am last nit, but she was bitten and scratched we took her to the vet and they think she was hit by a car bc of the road rash she had all over her body. On top of that. She has some puncture wounds and lacerations so they think she was in a fight with an animal.

Background- mom rescued her as a stray two years ago, she was 8 lbs and had a shattered hip (from a car accident we think) and pregnant with a litter of puppies. Now she's got a great home and has gained back the weight she needed, but she is only 12 lbs! The poor thing is 12lbs but she got hit by a car for the second time,and fought off an animal- over a span of 8 hrs in the woods.

That is insane! But she's doing better- on pain medicine and other antibiotics, but still. What a trooper! Insane story or what?
