AT LEAST THE THIRD GAS
LEAK THERE IN RECENT WEEKS.
>>> THE OUTPOURING SUPPORT FOR
A BLIND WOMAN WHO LOST HER
LEADER DOIS SIMPLY
ASTOUNDING.
THE GUIDE DOG WENT MISSING FROM
HER HOME ON SATURDAY.
AND TODAY, VOLUNTEERS, POLICE,
AND WORKERS WITH LEADER DOGS
FOR THE BLIND CAME TOGETHER TO
TRY TO BRING HER HOME.
"THE NOW" DETROIT'S KIM RUSSELL
IS OUTSIDE HER HOUSE.
DO WE KNOIF SHE'S OKAY?
>> Reporter: NOW, AFTER THE
DOG WENT RUNNING OFF FROM THIS
YARD AFTER A SCARY EVENT SO
MANY WERE WORRIED.
TODAY PEOPLE HAVE SEEN HER AND
SHE PEERS TO BE OKAY BUT UNTIL
SHE IS HOME, WITH HER OWNER AS
SHE IS IN THIS
PICTURE NOBODY IS GOING TO REST
EASY.
>> HELLO, PAULA?
>> YES.
>> YES, I JUST GOT A CALL 3
MINUTES AGO, SHE WAS SPOTTED ON
THE CORNER OF TUB SPRING AND
SAND HILLSOUTHEAST CORNER.
WHEN JACKIE LOST HER DOG DOZENS
OF PEOPLE WENT SEARCHING.
AGAIN, AND AGAIN, THE DOG
MANAGED TO HIDE.
>> IT'S A ROLLERCOASTER.
BECAUSE WE GOT THEM, SHE'S
SPOTTED.
THEY LOST HER.
>> Reporter: SHE'S NOT JUST A
DOG.
SHE'S JACKIE'S FREEDOM.
JACKIE HAS BEEN GRADUALLY
LOSING HER SIGHT.
ONLY A MONTH AND A HALF AGO SHE
WAS MATCHED WITH THE LEADER
DOG.
ON SATURDAY SHE PUT THE DOG OUT
ON A LEASH.
A LAWN MOWER RAN OVER THE LEASH
TERRIFYING THE DOG.
THE DOG RAN AWAY FROM HER HOME
IN FEAR.
>> WE'RE HOPING THAT SHE'S
HERE.
>> Reporter: VOLUNTEERS HAVE
SET UP A PERIMETEAROUND THE
AREA SHE WAS LAST SPOTTED.
WHILE SOME KEEP WATCH OTHERS
SEARCH COVERING GROUND.
COUNTRY SMOKEHOUSE OWNER STEVE
FRANCIS EVEN SEARCHED FROM THE
SKY IN HIS CHOPPER.
THE WOMAN WHO TRAINED THE DO
CAME TO ALMONT HOPING A
FAMILIAR VOICE WOULD BRING HER
HOME.
>> SHE'S A VERY WELL TRAINED
GUIDE AND SHE WORKS FOR JACKIE
VERY WELL.
BUT YOU KNOW, ULTIMATELY SHE IS
A DOGCH AND SHE HAS ALL THE
SAME DOG FEARS AS YOUR PET DOG
HAS.
>> IT'S OVERWHELMING THE LOVE
AND CONCERN THAT THIS COMMUNITY
HAS SHOWN.
I MEAN, WE GOT FIREFIGHTERS OUT
THERE, WE GOT FOUR WHEELERS,
POLICE OUT THERE, COUNTY
SHERIFF.
WE GOT PRIVATE PEOPLE COMING
FROM BAY CITY, FROM LIVONIA
FROM EVERYWHERE.
>> Reporter: NOW, INSTRUCTORS
I SPOKE TO WITH LEADER DOGS FOR
THE BLIND THEY'RE ASKING PEOPLE
NOT TO APPROACH THE DOG IF THEY
SEE HER.
THEY DON'T WANT TO SCARE HER
OFF.
INSTEAD THEY'RE ASKING FOR A
PHONE CALL, THEY WANT TO HAVE
INSTRUCTORS GO APPROACH THE DOG
SO THAT THEY CAN TRY TO CATCH
HER AS SAFELY AS POSSIBLE.
WE HAVE THE NUMBER YOU NEED TO
KNOW IF YOU DO SEE THE DOG AT
OUR WEBSITE WXYZ.COM.
IN THE MEANTIME IF YOU'RE OUT
AND ABOUT KEEP AN EYE OUT.
DRIVE CAREFULLY.
WE DON'T WANT THE DOG TO GET
HURT.
REPORTING LIVE, KIM RUSSELL,
"THE NOW" DETROIT.
>> WE WANT HER HOME FOR SURE.
I DO WONDER IF THE DOG IS ABLE
TO BE FOUND AND BROUGHT BACK
HOME, WILL THE DOG BE ABLE TO
RESUME HER DUTIES AS A LEADER
DOG AFTER ALL THE TRAUMA SHE'S
BEEN THROUGH.
>> Reporter: THAT'S THE PLAN.
INSTRUCTORS WILL BE THERE
MAKING SURE THAT EVERYTHING
GOES SMOOTHLYAS THEY'RE
REINTRODUCED.
SHE HAD QUITE A SCARE WHEN THE
LAWN MOWER RAN OVER HER LEASH.
AND WHAT SHE DID IS JUST ANIMAL
INSTINCT AND SHE'S VERY HIGHLY
TRAINED AND A GREAT LEADER DOG
WHO SUNDAY BE ABLE TO GO BACK
TO HER DUTIES.
