Stray dog walks 18 miles back to Webster office where workers cared for her

WEBSTER, Texas – On Bay Area Boulevard in the shadows of an ordinary office building, an extraordinary display of compassion can be seen each day.

“Everybody is worried about Gypsy,” said Roy Coleman.

Gypsy, a stray black lab mix, took up residence outside the building four months ago.

Melanie Bringol bought Gypsy a dog house but thought she needed something more permanent. She managed to catch Gypsy, and took her to her home in Santa Fe with a fenced in back yard.

“She got out, climbed the fence and came back here to the office,” Bringol said. “Eight days later she showed up. She walked 18 miles.”

I can't help crying when I hear of dog stories like this.
How anyone can be cruel to a dog is beyond me.

How odd that she would prefer to live at the office building instead on a home. Amazing that she made it back. I hope that they have good luck catching her and finding a good home for her. Glad that she is getting lots of care from the people who work there.
