MILLBURY — This dog sure made tracks.
Nearly five years ago, "Bay," an 18-month-old Basenji rescue dog, escaped from Renee Perry’s brother’s home in Framingham and disappeared.
Perry and her friends searched for the peripatetic pooch, described as shy and timid, with no luck.
“There was never any sign of her,” said Perry, a Framingham Public Schools teacher who lives in Millbury. “She never popped up anywhere. We looked all summer. I always looked. Whenever I drove in Framingham, I always looked.”
Now, a little older and with perhaps a little wiser, Bay is back home after years of wandering and freeloading. Bay's life on the run was undone in Needham when she yielded to the temptation of a free meal.
