Sask. farm dog survives after being caught in snare for several days
Sookie, a large Great Pyrenees, is recovering at home after fighting for her life in the wilderness near her family’s farm over the holidays.
The lovable 100-pound dog survived after being caught in a trapper’s snare for at least four days in a wooded area south of Shellbrook before Christmas.
Shannon Hamilton and John Kunard aren’t exactly sure when Sookie went missing, as their dogs are given free reign of the farm. However, they went looking on Dec. 21 with no luck, and feared the worst.
“I was looking along the grid road,” Kunard said, adding he expected to find Sookie had been hit by a truck.
