It was an early Wednesday morning, and my husband was on his way to the grocery store to take advantage of some food sales before the crowd arrived. He made it about a mile from our house down a lonely road that is surrounded by farmland.

When the couple first met Moxie, it didn’t take long for them to realize that something was wrong. She refused to stop chasing the vehicle, which made them wonder why she was running in the middle of nowhere. So, they stopped to give her water and she gladly hopped into their van.
