A Jackson Mississippi family recounts a remarkable dog Joe escape and three week trek across the region. The fox terrier found its way to Creel Springs Illinois and was sighted by the boy and mother near the Parks home during a stroll, ending a dramatic months long search that involved telegrams and distant miles.
