Missing Family Dog Returns Home After 9 Days

It was a Christmas miracle when a dog returned home after being missing for nine days. Brooke and her family put up missing posters all over the neighborhood for their beloved dog. The family says they were constantly looking for her day and night. However, it seemed like we were one step behind her. Thankfully, Ring camera video captured Athena the German Shepherd pressing the doorbell to come inside her home on Christmas Eve.

You can never measure a strength of how much a dog loves their family 🤔

Those must have been the nine worst days of your lives. I'm so glad she found her way back to you. ❤

When I was a young kid my cat had gotten out & lost. I was devastated. I don’t remember what time of year it was but she made it back exactly 7 days later ❤ definitely felt like a miracle

Once again a German Shepherd acting like a human.❤ No wonder they're the 3rd most intelligent dog breed in the world.

Her guardian angel just earned theirs with the ring of that Ring! ❤

First video to make my heart sing 🎶 today. Who doesn't love a Christmas miracle. Wishing your family all the best in 2025❣

They know what they’re doing. My oldest dog had escaped and was gone for a couple hours, we had no idea but we heard scratching at the door. Dood knows where home is

AWESOME Christmas 🎄 story. Inside gets some really good stuff.

I an so happy for you. My 8 pound baby was gone for 4 days in the country. It's a miracle she survived. She ended up at a house way off the road. They saw my post about her missing. Thank goodness it wasn't real cold and a animal didn't attack her. I am overjoyed for your family

Wouldn't it be nice if Athena could tell her family about her adventures.😊

Clever dog. "Fancied a break and a stroll around" 🌳⚘️

I wonder how many other door bells she rang in pursuit of her home.❤❤ That's one smart dog and people probably tried to get her but she only had one thing on her mind for nine days till she found her people.❤
