Black Labrador Lady, who was previously known as ‘Ma Kettle’ was handed into an animal shelter after her owners got a younger, more energetic dog.
Unable to handle both dogs, the Kansas family gave up their black lab.
When ‘Ma Kettle’ was rehomed, she managed to escape. Instead of returning to her new home, the adorable black lab walked thirty miles to her old family.
