That is when the grueling search began for Odin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Search<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Devastated, Brenda and Chris began their search; they contacted neighbors, put out flyers, contacted Susquehanna Valley Dog Control, set traps, and did everything within their power to track Odin.

Together, DCO Liske, and Michele Peabody from Diamond Paws, went to work to try and secure the dog safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe appeared in rough shape,\u201d said DCO Liske when she first saw the dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of his nervousness and appearance, they soon determined that the dog was on the run. Between Peabody and DCO Liske, they were able to conduct a near \u201cround the clock\u201d rescue operation, with a main goal of capturing the dog, which was later identified as Odin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe saw him almost every day,\u201d said Peabody, adding, \u201cWe were basically following his tracks and looking for his food source.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But when either of the two rescuers got close to the dog, he would run, once again evading the rescuers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe was scared of the unknown, we just couldn\u2019t catch him,\u201d Peabody added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Day in and day out, DCO Liske and Peabody remained focus on capturing the lost pup, and were able to learn about his personality, even while he was on the run!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe didn\u2019t learn how smart he really was until later,\u201d said Peabody, and shared about telling DCO Liske at one point, \u201cLook, he knows how to stay,\u201d wherein DCO Liske replied, \u201cYeah, stay away from us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But they remained focused, and at one point decided that a trap to catch the elusive Odin would be necessary. At that point they had the community engaged as well, and in particular the residents of Hidden Valley Mobile Home Park and specifically a woman named Linda Hatton and Daisy, her boxer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2020\/02\/Odin8-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Odin\u2019s Journey Home\" class=\"wp-image-77634\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2020\/02\/Odin8-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2020\/02\/Odin8-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2020\/02\/Odin8-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2020\/02\/Odin8-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2020\/02\/Odin8.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>Daisy is pictured next to Linda Hatton\u2019s shed in Candor that was the eventual key to capturing Odin, who had been on the run from Susquehanna County since May 2019. Photo credit: Linda Hatton.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In Hatton\u2019s recollection, she started seeing her dog, a boxer named Daisy, playing with a large but young dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI thought it was the neighboring farmer\u2019s dog, so I didn\u2019t think anything of it,\u201d said Hatton.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She did notice, however, that the dog was wearing a collar, and decided to see if the tags would identify the pup\u2019s owner; but she couldn\u2019t get near the dog. She also stated that she had noticed several vehicles coming in and around the park, but had not spoken to any of them. But that was about to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hatton contacted DCO Liske to report the dog, as she now assumed that the dog was a stray. Through the power of social media, DCO Liske had shared a screenshot of a post she received of a lost dog from Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania back in May of 2019, Odin. And although skeptical, because of the length of time the dog has been missing and the fact that the location was over 50 miles away from Odin\u2019s home, Hatton was sure that this was the dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hatton began talking to the rescuers as they came in and out of the park, and was offered an idea later on in the week. Next to her mobile home in the park, Hatton has a wooden shed. A plan was devised to put a bed and blanket in the back of the shed, and place food nearby. Hatton also put snow at the entrance of the shed to track any paw prints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Hatton woke up on Friday, she noticed tracks going into the shed, and the blankets appeared to have been slept in and the food was gone. The plan was working. Hatton put out more food, and within one hour that food was gone as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2020\/02\/Odin2-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Odin\u2019s Journey Home\" class=\"wp-image-77627\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2020\/02\/Odin2-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2020\/02\/Odin2-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2020\/02\/Odin2-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2020\/02\/Odin2-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2020\/02\/Odin2-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>Pictured, is Odin.

This time she put her dog Daisy inside, and placed more food in the shed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then, at that moment, Hatton looked out the window and saw Odin going inside of the shed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Acting quickly, she ran out and shut the door; leaving Odin safely inside the shed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DCO Liske, who was restocking another trap in the area, heard the door shut on the shed; and she knew that the incoming call immediately from Hatton would be the call that she had been eagerly awaiting.&nbsp; DCO Liske questioned, \u201cDid we get him,\u201d and Hatton exclaimed, \u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2020\/02\/Odin4-1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Odin\u2019s Journey Home\" class=\"wp-image-77629\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2020\/02\/Odin4-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2020\/02\/Odin4-1-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2020\/02\/Odin4-1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2020\/02\/Odin4-1-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2020\/02\/Odin4-1-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>Photo of the reunion that took place in Willseyville, N.Y. on Friday evening, Jan. 31, and following the capture of Odin, who had been missing from his home in Susquehanna County since May 2019.

Black was skeptical as well, as there were&nbsp;very few sightings, and because of the distance and time that had passed. But because of the distinctive collar, she knew it was Odin and they were headed to Candor. The dog\u2019s owner also helped with identification via photos sent to the family by DCO Liske.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2020\/02\/Odin3-1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Odin\u2019s Journey Home\" class=\"wp-image-77628\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2020\/02\/Odin3-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2020\/02\/Odin3-1-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2020\/02\/Odin3-1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2020\/02\/Odin3-1-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2020\/02\/Odin3-1-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>Photo of the reunion that took place in Willseyville, N.Y. on Friday evening, Jan. 31, and following the capture of Odin, who had been missing from his home in Susquehanna County since May 2019.

Brenda described how Odin loves to ride, so he sat in the middle in the truck, and between them on the ride home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe was licking us and nibbling our ears, and acting like everything was okay,\u201d Brenda added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"737\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2020\/02\/Odin1-1-737x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Odin\u2019s Journey Home\" class=\"wp-image-77626\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2020\/02\/Odin1-1-737x1024.jpg 737w, http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2020\/02\/Odin1-1-216x300.jpg 216w, http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2020\/02\/Odin1-1-768x1067.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2020\/02\/Odin1-1-1106x1536.jpg 1106w, http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2020\/02\/Odin1-1-1475x2048.jpg 1475w, http:\/\/www.greenstreetdata.com\/PS\/owego\/files\/2020\/02\/Odin1-1-scaled.jpg 1843w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 737px) 100vw, 737px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>When they got home, Odin went right inside the house and remembered everything, to include the family\u2019s four cats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFour paws can travel pretty far,\u201d Brenda stated of the entire ordeal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She also praised the work of the animal rescue personnel that assisted.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey were fantastic,\u201d Brenda noted of all of the rescue groups that stepped up to help. \u201cWe can\u2019t thank them enough.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Black\u2019s will be taking Odin to a vet on Monday, and are hopeful for a clean bill of health following his travels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for the rescues that assisted, things are busy every day for them; but this rescue was special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe didn\u2019t realize the dog\u2019s story until Thursday,\u201d said Peabody following the reunion, adding, \u201cBeing a part of something like this &#8211; I\u2019ve cried since it happened.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hatton, the woman that offered her shed for the capture of Odin, shed some tears as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI knew we needed to help,\u201d said Hatton, adding, \u201cWhen I found out it was him, I cried.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dog\u2019s original owner, the granddaughter, will be traveling to Montrose, Pa. in the next couple of weeks, according to Brenda.
