Lanis is a red and white Afghan who got out of the house on the snowy countryside of Sparks Md. She had been virtually not seen for a day or 2 before John with his K9 Maggie came out to help. We were told to kick off a alert that John suggested while he was there to see if we could get lucky and get a sighting. John and Maggie were wonderful and good sports tracking thru all the deep snow and mud. We started to track and shortly we got a call that Lanis was spotted int he woods just up ahead of us. We quickly ran to that area and Maggie spotted Lanis before anyone else. We all surrounded Lanis and coaxed her over with treats! What a relief and extreme happiness due to John and Maggie!
