A Happy Tail: Dog Missing in Cheshire Brutal Cold Back Home

By Rich Scinto (Patch Staff)

Bryce the pure bred English bulldog has come home after being lost for more than a week in brutal cold weather.

Bryce went missing on Jan. 5 from Reservoir Road in Cheshire and his owner, Mary Nelson, posted on social media about his disappearance and her worry that he would not survive long in the cold weather. Posts were shared hundreds of times on Facebook as the word spread.

“Ultimately shares brought him home,” Nelson said.

A resident on nearby Hearthstone Drive in Cheshire spotted Bryce last Thursday, but he ran away, Nelson said.

Bryce returned to the resident’s driveway early Tuesday morning looking to play with other dogs. The resident was able to coax Bryce into coming inside and she then called Nelson to let her know he was found.
