Valerie, a miniature dachshund, survived an astonishing 529 days in the Australian wilderness after disappearing during a camping trip. Rescuers from Kangala Wildlife Rescue used her owner's T-shirt to create a scent trail, leading to her capture. Against intense heat and dangers like venomous snakes, Valeries survival is a moving testament to resilience, hope, and the bond between pets and owners.

I wonder what she ate...

Maybe locals were leaving out food for her? It sounds like they knew she was around and just couldn't catch her.
