28 May 2021 A very special two-year-old dog in Illinois is back home with his family after he escaped the safety of his backyard. The story began a few weeks ago when Lex wanted to go outside and play, WGN 9 reported Sunday. “So I let him out,” his owner, Jon Rollins, recalled. “And then I went back to watch some TV and I would say about five minutes later, I got an alert on my watch saying that Lex had left the property.” Rollins and his dog are both deaf, and Eli, Jon’s son, was at home when the pup escaped.
