UPDATE: Yesterday morning Tennessee was found in Hornsby Heights.
We only moved to Mount Colah from Hornsby Heights a couple of weeks ago. After getting out in the middle of the night and becoming hopelessly lost in this new environment, he was unable to find his way back to his new home, so he tried to get back to his old home.
He was missing for 12 days, last seen in Mt Colah on Saturday night and incredibly, since then, he navigated the big bush valley between the two suburbs, making it to Hornsby Heights and almost making it home until his legs became paralysed by a tick. He was found yesterday morning immobilised, in respiratory distress and hypothermic.
We were very worried this would happen as while he was lost he became overdue for his tick treatment. He is currently very sick and fighting for his life.
While we are so relieved our boy has been found and so amazed and so touched at his incredible feat of almost making it to his old home in his search for us, we remain very worried.
He hasn't made it back to us yet, there is still a long way to go, but we will be waiting ❤️
We wanted to sincerely thank the community, especially those who have reached out, helped us or simply kept an eye out and kept Tennessee in their thoughts. It has been deeply appreciated 🙏
