Back in may of 2023 Barley the dog was with his family at Rivermouth Campgrounds, which is located about 5 miles south of Paradise.

Somehow Barley got away from her owners and took off.

For over a year, the local community rallied together, conducting extensive searches and never losing hope.

Their efforts paid off when Barley was finally spotted approximately 45-50 miles from where he had originally gone missing.

The breakthrough came thanks to the dedication of Deanna Suggitt, a local resident who had been patiently feeding Barley for months, slowly building trust with the skittish canine.

She would try to feed barley regardless of the weather conditions.

It's truly amazing that she never gave up hope and was able to help bring barley back home.

When you think about it, Barley was gone for over a year alone in the wild dealing with all sorts of weather conditions along with wildlife that could have attacked or killed him.

It's incredible that he was found safe and reunited with his owners.
