Well yes, 98 days on an Island would be great if there were plenty of Pina Coladas and Steel Drum music. Unfortunately, This was not the case for Buddy, a 4 year old Beagle.
The good news is that Buddy was reunited with his Family, The Kelley’s, after spending 98 days on an uninhabited Gull Island off of New Jersey.
Buddy’s family was on Manasquan beach back in August when buddy decided to get some “long travel plans.” He took off and nobody could catch him.
After about 60 days someone spotted a skinny little beagle along railroad tracks near the deserted island. According to Fox News Edith Kelley. “The Coast Guard said they had seen him digging in the sand. Most likely looking for clams or sand crabs.”
Oh, but buddy doesn’t run to the Coast Guard like you and I would. He decides to continue on his island adventure. “Come’on Buddy, don’t you want to go home?”
It took a local man known as Muskrat to trap Buddy. This little beagle was once 35 lbs. He was down to 19 lbs by the time Muscrat trapped him. “The Kelley’s, were ecstatic to see him. They could not believe that this little guy survived this horrific ordeal.
The Kelley’s son, Patrick said, “He cannot believe how he survived. Its a miracle. Buddy is acting like he never left.”
Just in time for the Holidays, good move Buddy. Now, if only Santa would bring Buddy a GPS collar for Christmas!
