Missing dog found as a stray in New Mexico
Benjamin Baxter had owned his dog, a Houdini named Patches, since childhood. They had made lots of memories together, and he had no doubts that Patches was indeed the furry love of his life.
While speaking to KSLA News , Baxter shared: “I would be hunting, rock climbing or whatever, and she’d be right there. She was the only dog I’ve ever been around that actually loved rock climbing.” Continuing, he added, “But she’d always have this big, goofy grin on her face the whole time.”
When Benjamin had to move to Nebraska in 2020 for a new job, as reported by KETV News , he made the tough decision to leave Patches with a family friend in Colorado. This was because the apartment wasn’t dog-friendly . In fact, the apartment’s policies prohibited residents from keeping pets at all.
