During the previous summer, a spirited yellow Labrador retriever named Kota Bean managed to break free from her backyard due to a damaged electric fence caused by a storm. Kota had always possessed a knack for breaking through barriers, but this particular escape was unlike any before. Kota's owner, Kellie Deck Tuten, shared on Facebook, "Kota has always been an escape artist. We have tried countless crates, kennels, and cages to contain her during the few hours we needed her contained."

Whenever Kota managed to escape, she would never wander too far from home. If her owners couldn't locate her on the same day, she would always return on her own later. However, as the day turned into night, Kota remained nowhere to be found. The Tutens immediately sprang into action, distributing flyers and contacting every nearby animal shelter in their desperate search for Kota. They exhausted every possible avenue, but after a year without any sign of their beloved dog, the Tutens were on the verge of losing hope.

Nothing cuter than a puppy, except for two puppies.

Are you getting paid for clickbait?

Female dogs tend to lose interest in their toys once they become mommy dogs.

Beautiful puppies.

Tuten mentioned, "She also seems disinterested in her old toys or anything else. It has been challenging for us because it gives the impression that she is unhappy here, but I believe it is more a result of the trauma she endured while fighting for her safety." Kota's family is allowing her to dictate the pace of her adjustment, eagerly anticipating the day when their beloved Kota Bean feels completely at ease in her home once again. Until then, they remain grateful that their precious girl is back where she rightfully belongs.

From early in the article this dog always was trying to escape.

This dog always wanted to be free.

"She also seems disinterested in her old toys or anything else. It has been challenging for us because it gives the impression that she is unhappy here, but I believe it is more a result of the trauma she endured while fighting for her safety."

Sounds more like they left one puppy behind.
