It was a quiet Sunday afternoon in Princeton, Texas, when Wade Shapp and his wife, Mandi, were making their way home from church. The sun was just beginning to dip behind the horizon, casting a soft golden glow across the country road they traveled. As they cruised along, the familiar sights of rural life unfolded before them: the wide open fields, the grazing cattle, and the occasional farm dog darting in and out of sight. But that Sunday, something out of the ordinary caught Wade’s attention, something that would change the course of their day—and the life of a dog forever.
A Strange Sight
“We were on a country road on the way back to our house,” Wade recalled, his voice tinged with disbelief as he recounted the events to The Dodo. “And I looked over while I was driving, and I saw a dog’s head pop up.” At first, it seemed like any other dog wandering in the rural roads of Princeton, but as Wade focused on the dog, something didn’t sit right. The dog wasn’t moving, and it appeared to be trapped inside a bag.
