So here's the story of Dog.
I had been living remote, very remote and a half mile off the paved rd.
This is where my cabin was
So one day my daughter and I were sitting in front of the cabin when I saw a flash of black moving up my shitter trail. At first I thought I saw a dog but being in back bear country I wanted to know exactly what it was. I put some food out in the opening behind the cabin and waited. Soon a skin and bones dog crept out of the huckleberry patch and started eating. She would stay and eat as long as you didn't talk to her. The second she heard a voice she would run. I believe she had been living in the forest by my cabin for at least a month maybe more before I realised she was there.
She began guarding the cabin from coyotes at night. This feeding, talking, running and gaurding went on for a couple weeks until I was able to borrow a bear cub live trap for a few days. Took 2 tries to catch her. The first time I didn't oil the linkage joints so she waltzed in, sniffed the food, picked up the container of food and walked out of the trap and into the huckleberry patch lmao.
I went out to see what happened and saw a light coating of rust on the linkage so a little dab of olive oil and more food later I reset the trap and waited and not long. This time I got her
First thing my dumbass did was stick my fingers thru the trap bars. As I did I thought hey dummy ur gonna get bit but instead she leaned into my fingers and let me scratch her ear. That was 11 years ago and shes been my problem child ever since.
I figure she was a drop off and somehow found my cabin.
Im tempted to do a dna test to know for sure but ive always suspected she was heeler because of her markings, attitude and the fact blue heelers were very popular where I was at.
