Our 7 month old slipped out of his harness on a hike Saturday morning. After searching for him almost non-stop we caught him this afternoon!

Congratu-freaking-lations!!!! This is fantastic news!!! That must have been a nightmare!!!


scott-1001

It was. We kept thinking about everything we did wrong, but luckily we had amazing help from locals and the Colorado Iggy community.

I’m so glad! I’ve been watching the search and was so heartbroken for you all!

That's awesome! Is he Tony? Saw posts on sighthound groups about him


scott-1001

It is!!

yayyy

congrats! our iggy slipped out of his harness last week (didn't get very far!), so we ended up getting an extra clip to fasten his harness to his collar, so if he slipped out again he'd still be attatched.


scott-1001

That's a great idea! Can you send a link of what you got?

We just searched for double-ended leash clip on amazon, so something like this [https://www.amazon.co.uk/Double-Harness-Adjustable-Reflective-Collar/dp/B0CZDQBPLD/ref=sr\_1\_10?crid=3LHPFK9T5WDB8&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.JQewImKFlWKaTG7TVP9POn1hKmolRQbtBSybk7Iv4msFGeABMinha3HrH1TN0VevirRP2HsLKLzA6D0hYguMkZnjYzypQX9YprnA\_1xsI23fBVld8Q5s-723bQ7aRChnJ77vytFXmTKXo0yafJFjtBVGgVHWmy7Gy8G4B7PYY8yYzT\_e3Z8UtJ-\_zGJ9GCVHQBngIxfNwuA3iHoe24V3aAdRQ2tG7xLaHGCwt6oekDdWqrzz3vUFcwijVF6qAGniABkBhh0CO\_yISjNSnNcAyOkt7NETH8YlmhINbDIPKzw.MD4civr4aAFPEaA3ymHXLl-GSeNH5WSpZ9OP91t6pgc&dib\_tag=se&keywords=leash+clip+double+ended&qid=1717634488&sprefix=leash+clip+double+ended%2Caps%2C70&sr=8-10](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Double-Harness-Adjustable-Reflective-Collar/dp/B0CZDQBPLD/ref=sr_1_10?crid=3LHPFK9T5WDB8&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.JQewImKFlWKaTG7TVP9POn1hKmolRQbtBSybk7Iv4msFGeABMinha3HrH1TN0VevirRP2HsLKLzA6D0hYguMkZnjYzypQX9YprnA_1xsI23fBVld8Q5s-723bQ7aRChnJ77vytFXmTKXo0yafJFjtBVGgVHWmy7Gy8G4B7PYY8yYzT_e3Z8UtJ-_zGJ9GCVHQBngIxfNwuA3iHoe24V3aAdRQ2tG7xLaHGCwt6oekDdWqrzz3vUFcwijVF6qAGniABkBhh0CO_yISjNSnNcAyOkt7NETH8YlmhINbDIPKzw.MD4civr4aAFPEaA3ymHXLl-GSeNH5WSpZ9OP91t6pgc&dib_tag=se&keywords=leash+clip+double+ended&qid=1717634488&sprefix=leash+clip+double+ended%2Caps%2C70&sr=8-10) Our harness has two rings for the clips to go through, so we have one for the lead, and one for this to attatch to the collar. If you don't have extra clips on the harnss, i'm sure you could easily attatch/make one!

I saw your post on Facebook and was so worried!! So happy he’s home!


scott-1001

Thank you!!


Due-Satisfaction7022

that is one lucky Iggy! That must’ve been the worst 3 days ever. How did you track down the iggy?


scott-1001

There was dozens of sightings of him and there was a specific area that he kept crossing. I saw him in that area today and we set up a trap there and about 3 hours later he walked in. 


MissRoja

What a brave baby! Omg the moment you found him must have been just magical. So happy he’s safe and back with his family 💗


Autumn813

OMG! Is this Tony?!


scott-1001

It is!!


Autumn813

I am so so happy for you!! This story was haunting me on Facebook when I saw you post. Just so sad & usually the kind of story without a happy ending. I am beyond thrilled & relieved for him and your family 🩵


scott-1001

Thank you!!


_lovely

Omg!!! I read the Facebook post and was wondering about an update. I’m so happy for you!!! What a terrible 3 days it must have been for you, but now give him tons of love and hugs.


scott-1001

Thank you! It was the most stressful 3 days of my life. 


Ok-Parfait2413

get him an airtag collar


[deleted]

AMAZING!! it is truly rare to have a success story like this with IGs.


box_elder74

I wonder what he has to say about it!? So glad pup is safe!


twelvebucksagram

He says he fought off ***three*** bears and a coyote.


box_elder74

He told me 4!! Cheeky! Didn't mention the coyote though, mumbled something about bacon...


AcieCore

I would be so lost without my guy! I have a special call for him that he knows is me. And my voice is loooooouuuuuud! So if he ever slipped out or got lost, I’d yell that special call and hope he’d come running as always. He can be across the dog park and I call him and he sppppprrrrrriiiinnnttts to me.


WittyColt254380

It was a pleasure helping you find him!! So happy Tony is safe 💙


Hopeful_Juggernaut48

Omg I’m so happy that you found your baby!! I was so worried 😞 thank goodness he’s home 🩵🩵🩵


Mantiseyeballs

Dear lord. I can’t imagine the stress!! My iggy got out in a large downtown city area and I was pooping bricks trying to get him back. Thank goodness this worked out well for you!!


metapulp

Fantastic news! I got a new harness for my 5 month old yesterday and it is wonky. I’m going to customize one now. Not taking any chances. PS our family had an Iggy slip loose in the San Francisco airport years ago…


pinkpokadots7

TONY!


Why_Istanbul

Omg. That must have been so scary. So glad he got found. Can we get some more photos of wild man Tony?


thecrusher112

I am so happy you found him! My iggy would not cope in the wild by herself. Imagine the shaking, makes me so sad


SlipstreamSleuth

When he went missing, I saw a post about it in a wonderful Iggy Facebook group I'm part of, and I was overjoyed when I saw that sweet Tony was found! He's only 8 months old, and I was so worried.
