Psychic Pet Rescue

[Callie McAllie]

I wish they'd included a picture of the pooch.

from the Detroit Free Press:

The 5-pound Chihuahua that blew away Saturday in heavy winds at the Dixieland Antique Flea Market in Waterford was discovered tired, hungry and caked with mud in the hilly wooded area across the street on Monday.

A pet psychic "thought we were looking in the wrong place," Dorothy Utley, Tinker Bell's owner, said Monday. "She said, 'I'd like you to go over and look under things and up high and on hills.' She said she was going to be up high."

The 72-year-old Rochester Hills resident said volunteers spent hours searching on Sunday before the Holly-based clairvoyant told them where to call the pooch's name.

"The animal speaks to me," Lorrie the Pet Psychic said Monday. "She was telling me she was OK. ... I'm just so happy for her, that they have her home. I don't call myself a hero or anything."

1. I just read this and came here to see if anyone had posted.

The article on our local website said the dog had been carried away by the wind. Here's what it said:

Severe Wind Sends Chihuahua Flying Into Sky
Pet Psychic Helps Owners Find Lost Dog In Woods

WATERFORD TOWNSHIP, Mich. -- Tinker Bell has been reunited with her owners after a 70-mph gust of wind picked up the six-pound Chihuahua and tossed her out of sight.

Dorothy and Lavern Utley credit a pet psychic for guiding them on Monday to a wooded area nearly a mile from where 8-month-old Tinker Bell had been last seen. The brown long-haired dog was dirty and hungry but otherwise OK.

The Utleys, of Rochester, had set up an outdoor display Saturday at a flea market in Waterford Township, 25 miles northwest of Detroit. Tinker Bell was standing on their platform trailer when she was swept away.

Dorothy Utley tells The Detroit News that her cherished pet "just went wild" upon seeing her.

that must have been so terrifying for the poor puppy. It's amazing she survived for 3 days in the woods, and that she was found. Poor baby...
