Woman Has Tearful Reunion With Dog Missing For 19 Days After Crash

In the summer of 2018, Samantha Orr and her mom Jennifer were driving and chatting while on a family trip to Colorado when a large rock in the road caused the mother to swerve and slide off the road and 600 feet down the side of a mountain.

Her mother didn’t survive the crash, and it seriously injured Samantha, displacing ribs and compressing her vertebra.

And in the midst of her grief, the young woman also had no idea what became of her Goldendoodle, Bentley, who was in the Jeep at the time.

Samantha saw Bentley get thrown from the car, according to the Facebook page, “Bring Bentley Home.”

“My mom and my dog were my best friends,” she told KOAA.

Pleading with the public to begin the search, she felt that finding the dog would be key to giving the family closure.

But two weeks went by with no sign of the dog. Still, the family had the feeling he was still alive out there.

“We know he is still out there and scared,” she said in a Facebook post. “We need to get Bentley back home to Kansas to his grieving family.”

After a few days of silence on the Facebook page, Orr heard from a man named Joseph Stratmann who had been looking for Bentley and leaving food out for him near the site of the crash.

On a Saturday morning 19 days after the crash, she met him in the mountains and they went searching.

Amazingly, they spotted Bentley! But he wouldn’t come to them.

“Eventually his fear got the best of him and he made his way to the ridge (top),” she posted. “I slowly but surely followed him, upon reaching the summit, I could see him watching me.”

Orr laid out some food and a new toy, but he wouldn’t budge. Then she decided to give him some space.

She also began recording some video of him on her phone.

An emotional reunion
Bentley can be seen in the distance, right at the spot of the crash. In fact, he is looking down at the wreckage of the Jeep at the beginning of the video. Orr can be heard crying.

Then, Bentley decides to come closer, seeming to put together some facts.

“It’s momma,” Orr pleads. “Good boy … come, come.”

WOMAN RUINED 8-HOUR FLIGHT FOR ALL PASSENGERS – AFTER THE FLIGHT, THE CAPTAIN DECIDED TO PUT HER IN HER PLACE HIMSELF. It was a long flight after my swimming competition, and I had only one wish — to put a mask over my eyes and fall asleep. Right? Nope! Ever since we took off, I knew I’d have issues with the lady on my left (aisle seat). She was ringing the flight attendant button like there was a fire in our aisle and complaining non-stop about how both of us (the girl in the window seat and I) should be moved because we had “taken her place.” Then, aisle Greta stood up and demanded that someone switch seats with her because “it’s not fair she has to sit with two fat people” (I’m just tall) when she paid the same amount for her seat as we did for ours, and we were apparently “taking over” hers. That didn’t work for her, so she spent the whole flight kicking my arm and leg while I prayed for it to end faster. When we landed, she unbuckled and darted to the front of the plane to get off first. But SUDDENLY, our captain made an announcement and came out to ⬇Continues in the comments

JOKE OF THE DAY: A truck driver walks into a cafe on the Hume Highway with a full-grown emu behind him. The waitress asks for his order. The truckie says, “I’ll have a hamburger, chips and a coffee.” He turns to the emu, “What about you?” “Sounds good to me, I’ll have the same,” the emu replies. The waitress returns with their orders. “That’ll be $10.50 please.” The truckie reaches into his pocket, pulls out the exact change and pays her. The next day, the truckie and the emu return. He repeats his order, “A hamburger, chips and a coffee, please.” The emu repeats, “Sounds good. Same for me, please.” Once more, the truckie reaches into his pocket and produces the exact amount. This is their routine for a couple of days. One night, the two enter again. “I guess you’ll have the usual?” asks the waitress. “No, it’s Friday night. I’ll have a steak, baked potatoes and a salad,” says the truckie. “Sounds great, same for me, too,” says the emu. The waitress brings the order and says, “That will be $32.65.” Once again the man pulls the exact change out of his pocket and places it on the table. The waitress can’t hold back her curiosity any longer. “You’ve really got me there, mate. How do you manage to always have the exact change every time?” ⬇️Joke continues in the first comment
