Milo Bear’s 72-Day Wilderness Survival | Reno News

A golden retriever named Milo Bear vanished near Mount Rose on Christmas Day, fleeing into the woods after a sheriff’s siren startled him. After 72 harrowing days lost in the wilderness, he was found emaciated but alive by a local dog walker—weighing just 45 pounds less than when he disappeared. His survival remains a mystery, though a strange odor from his head hints at his endurance. Now, over a year later, Milo’s back home, snuggling and riding in cars again—and even earned a nomination for Nationwide’s Hambone Award. His owner is using the moment to push for pet safety, urging GPS collars and leashes, while thanking the entire community for helping bring him home.
