VICTORIA --
A dog that was missing in the Vancouver Island bush for more than two weeks is now safely back with his owner.
Keno is a four-year-old husky-shepherd cross that was reported missing on the morning of Jan. 26 on Mount Prevost in the Cowichan Valley.
"He saw an elk and he took off real quick and I lost him out of my hands," owner Jesse McMaster told CTV News one week into his search for his beloved pet.
"I stayed out there for another three to four days," said the distraught dog owner. "I slept in my car and took work off."
