Canny Canine Sneaks Out Of Her Home To Surprise Owner At Her Workplace
Indy, a lovable dog with a big personality, proved she was more than just a workplace regular when she decided to make a surprise trip on her own. For the past year and a half, Liza Thayer has brought Indy to her job at an assisted living facility in Connecticut, where the pup has become a familiar face to staff and residents alike.
Everyone there adores Indy, and she has clearly grown attached to the people and routine at the facility. So when she somehow slipped out of the house and headed straight for Thayer's workplace, it was a reminder of just how close the pair really are.
That little adventure ended with a very happy reunion, and Indy still managed to charm everyone along the way.
Thayer decided to take a day off from work to attend a friend's wedding. She entrusted her dad with looking after Indy while she was away.
It was a change to the usual routine, but no one informed Indy about it. Apparently, the clever dog just assumed Thayer had forgotten to bring her to work that day.
She took matters into her own paws and found her way to the workplace all by herself.

The slick pup managed to sneak her way out of the house and walk 2 miles to Thayer's workplace.
Knowing that Thayer wasn't there, the staff and residents were definitely surprised to see the unexpected guest. They called Thayer to inform her about her dog's failed surprise attempt.
Thayer couldn't believe Indy decided to do that.

Thayer was nowhere to be found, despite Indy's efforts. Indy's disappointment probably didn't last long, as the pup was still a pleasant sight for the residents.
They were happy to let her in and spoil her with her favorite treats. Either way, Indy's trip was worth the effort.
And just like Bailey running back to a safe place after a scary night at the shelter door.
Fortunately, the pup didn't have to walk back home.
After enjoying herself at the facility, Indy was given a ride home by Thayer's boss. By that time, Thayer's dad had noticed Indy was gone and started looking for her, so finding out she was safe was great news.
Thayer and Indy were together once again after she returned from the wedding. The reunion was definitely made more special considering what Indy went through to surprise her.
Indy must have really missed her owner.
