Briefly

A miniature dachshund, Valerie, missing for 16 months on Kangaroo Island, South Australia, has been sighted but evades capture from volunteers and wildlife experts. Previously inseparable from her owner, Georgia Gardner, Valerie escaped during a holiday. Despite efforts to find her, it wasn't until a year later that sightings emerged, which have been corroborated by local wildlife rescuers. Currently, traps with cameras are being set up to coax Valerie out of hiding, as she consistently avoids any human contact, leaving her rescuers both surprised and hopeful but cautious about the next steps.
Kangala Wildlife Rescue announced that despite months of search efforts, the miniature dachshund Valerie, believed to be alive, continues to evade capture, running from human presence.
Georgia Gardner expressed disbelief at the news of Valerie's survival after 16 months, emphasizing the emotional rollercoaster of hope and caution since the dog went missing.
