Miracle is considered to survive just four kilos of domestic dogs who escaped her guardians and was lost for 16 months in the wild
“Survivor with all of it” could be described as Valerie, a tiny Dachshund tribe dog, the well -known sausage to all of us, who not only survived after more than 500 days in the Australian desert but also enjoys extreme health.
As described in Reuters, Georgia Gardner and her boyfriend, Joshua Fishlock, had left Valerie momentarily alone in a camping in the campsite in November 2023 to fish.
The “Kangala Wildlife Rescue” team, which took over the small dog tracking operation, said it was working “around the clock” to find it on the Kangaros island off the coast of Australia.
He emphasized in particular that the volunteers spent more than 1,000 hours searching for the valeri, covering more than 5,000 kilometers (3,109 miles).
Valerie’s 529 days in the desert were a literal struggle for survival against intense heat and poisonous snakes.
It was vital to its detection was to use a t-shirt of its guardian as a “fragrance trace” in special traps set up.
“After weeks of tireless efforts, Valerie has been safely rescued and is good,” the research team said in a social media post.
The survival of just four kilos of dogs surprised the experts.
“Dachshunds are extremely inventive,” said Professor Paul McGreevy from the University of Sydney, according to the Guardian.
Probably, the dog survived eating corpses, small animals such as frogs or mice and drinking water from dams.
Some assumed that he may have received human help, but the pink collar she was wearing indicated that it was a domestic animal and therefore, anyone who could approach her could have contacted her guardians immediately.
