An amazing story. Sam, a 2 1/2 year old dachshund, was devoted to his owner, Teddy Crockarell. When Crockerell died of cancer last Monday, Sam seemed to immediately run away.
This despite the fact that he had an electric fence collar, which he had never ignoreed before. In fact, Sam had never left his home by himself before.
Two and a half days later, the family arrived at a church, over six miles from their home, for Crockerells funeral - and discovered Sam was waiting for them.
Marcene Crockarell said, "He was just shivering and sitting there by the doors. We just lost it and all we were doing was hollering, 'Sam! Sam!' and here he comes and he was just all over all three of us."
"If he walked those six miles he was looking for his papa... but he found him, and that's what's good about this whole situation, he found him and he found his way back here," said Marcene Crockarell's son-in-law Howard.
