This dog prevented his own kidnapping by alerting store owners about the bad intentions of the people he was with.Unless you’re Dr. Dolittle, you can’t speak with animals, but they definitely know how to communicate.
An adorable five-month-old Australian shepherd who listens to the name Vango did exactly that and rescued himself from the hands of dognappers. The smart pooch walked in a store with his dognappers, and the four-footer cleverly alerted the store owners that something wasn’t right.
It all happened at an animal store in Gatineau, Quebec, Canada. Vango kept constantly barking and demanding the store owner’s attention.
Yves Jodoin works as a staff member at the store and is also a dog trainer at Au Royaume des Animaux. He definitely knows a thing or two about the behavior of dogs and was quickly able to figure out that the whole situation was very off.
At first, Yves simply though that the four-footer was hungry and was barking because he was hoping for a treat. When Vango kept on barking even after he received a cookie, Yves started to get more and more suspicious.
When the couple who came into the store with Vance couldn’t even answer basic questions about the dog, the staff member started to put things together.
Suspicions began to arise, and as Yves started to ask more and more basic questions about the dog, it only got worse.
The couple didn’t even know how old he was, whether he was sterilized or not, what kind of food he usually liked or where he came from and how much they paid for him.
“They were evading the questions,” the man recalls.
Luckily, another staff member, Lydia Blouin, also noticed that something was off. Lydia checked local social media pages, to see if there was anything about missing pets.
It didn’t take long before they found Vango’s picture online, as he was reported missing. The dog was apparently last seen at home in Buckingham, only a couple of hours before he arrived at the store
