No one knows exactly where, when or why the phantom dog was left alone, abandoned without food or water, to survive the elements in an area of the Midwest where temperatures can often drop to 30 degrees below zero.
Without the kindness and compassion of Highway 71 commuters and local residents, the dog would not have made it through the winter 2009-2010, which was one of the worst in Iowa history.
A short memoir, but yet a heartwarming story of how the dog was rescued from the wild.
