The article strangely doesn't say the dog's age. But it has a pic of him as a puppy in 2012, and says he was gone for 11 years.
Since the article was written in the last few days, that means that Forty-Cal was about 3 when he went missing, and was about 14 when he returned.
The article said that two dogs went missing from their backyard at once, and the other came back after a few weeks, so she thinks someone took them from her yard.
Presumably from his description as being friendly, he lived as a family pet for all these years, and then was abandoned.
Or not abandoned, but maybe got lost.
But yes he was definitely living with someone for 11 years.
if the dog is gone for 11 years, it's not really YOUR dog anymore.
