Paw-sitive update on missing blind dog

Bowie, the beloved blind Australian Shepherd that stole the hearts of many, has proven that anything is paw-sible after he was found safe and sound.

The pup who went missing on Wednesday after he was stolen in broad daylight, is set to be reunited with his fur-ever family, the Durmans, after the two-day search came to a fruitful end.

Despite their house being trashed and their car being stolen when they returned home from a ski trip, once they found out Bowie was missing the pup was their main concern.

“Once we realised Bowie was gone, the cars and everything was immaterial to that,” dad Luke Durman said on Wednesday.

“The focus was, we just wanted Bowie back.”

Bowie was found near the small NSW town of Macksville on Friday, after initial reports that the dog was spotted in nearby Utungun, according to the NSW police.

“A short time later, an officer attached to Traffic and Highway Patrol Command stopped a grey SUV on Taylors Arm Road, Congarinni,” police said in a statement.

A 48-year-old man, who barked up the wrong tree, was arrested in Northern NSW over the theft of the Durman family’s dog, and is assisting police with their inquiries at Macksville Police station.
