A Keeshond called Terra June has pulled off quite a feat. She managed to survive on her own for about six months after she took off from her family one day. It may have taken quite some time for Eagan, Minnesota animal control officer Bob Kent to catch her, but she’s finally home safely.

As luck would have it, Terra June wasn’t really dealing with too many coyote encounters, as she became friendly with several construction workers building a new development not far from her home. The workers had been tossing her food, and at one point she became a mascot of sorts. One of the workers just happened to see something about her being missing and reported her whereabouts to Officer Kent.
