US EditionDog Back Home in New Forest After 100-Mile Trip and Island Swim
- Amber, a five-year-old retriever cross, went missing from her foster home in England's New Forest on April 25, 2025, after escaping the garden.
- Amber fled despite the family’s 8-foot fences, likely triggered by people attempting to catch her, which caused her to swim and travel extensively.
- Over 36 days, Amber traveled approximately 100 miles across Hampshire and Dorset, including a one-mile swim from Sandbanks to Brownsea Island where residents fed her.
- Sam Collins, co-founder of KS Rescue Angels, said Amber was spotted by a boat, rescued at sea, checked by a vet who found weight loss but good health, and recognized by a scar on her nose.
- Amber has returned to her foster family, who must provide a secure home given her flight risk, while the rescue group receives adoption interest and plans thorough checks before rehoming.
