Tamar Jones feared her beloved border collie, Gale, had been killed or dog-napped after it disappeared from her farm in Sledgates a fortnight ago.
Tamar, who made a star of her 10-year-old dog by writing about her exploits in a book, had all but given up hope of finding Gale. But she was overjoyed on Sunday when Gale was found in the boot of a car, having been there without food, water or exercise for nine days solid.
It turns out that Gale's adventure started when she made herself comfortable in the boot of a car, belonging to a man who was carrying out work at Tamar's farm. The man, who does not wish to be named, subsequently went to London, leaving the car at home. All the while Gale remained in the boot – and didn't make a noise.
"There was no barking, no yelping. She just lay there still, waiting for me to come and get her." said Tamar.
It was on Sunday when the man decided to clean out his car, opened the boot and noticed Gale behind a tool box. Even when given the chance of freedom, Gale remained in the spot where she had been for nine days.
The Daily Mail report that Gale the dog went into 'hibernation'.
