The harrowing ordeal commenced when Bree, during a routine visit to a dog grooming facility in Selinsgrove, seized a momentary chance to escape. “As the groomer transferred towels to the laundry and opened the door, she sprinted off. Despite my calls, she didn’t stop,” recounted Susan Liegey, detailing the distressing circumstances that led to Bree’s sudden disappearance.
”Susan Liegey recounted the heart-stopping moment when Bree vanished from sight”, igniting a desperate search for their furry family member.
The search efforts were led by Shannon Kohan of Central Pennsylvania Pet Recovery, a pivotal figure in the mission to find Bree. Despite numerous sightings that fueled optimism, capturing Bree presented a significant challenge. “Bree ventured as far as Beaver Springs before circling back to Middleburg, covering considerable distance,” remarked Kohan, highlighting the extensive area Bree covered during her time away from home.

Bree’s miraculous return to her family unfolded as nothing short of extraordinary. Following a precautionary check-up at the animal hospital, which confirmed her overall health with the exception of severely matted fur and a surprisingly minor weight loss of just one pound, Bree was poised to resume her life at home. Her seamless readjustment and the immediate rekindling of her bond with the Liegeys stand as a testament to the enduring connection between pets and their families.
Shannon Kohan’s reflections on the resilience of pets convey a powerful message about the remarkable capacity of animals to endure challenges. Bree’s story serves as a poignant reminder of the strength of hope, the significance of community support in times of distress, and the profound impact that pets have on our lives, enriching them with unconditional love and joy.
