Linda Oswald’s family and their 2-year-old border collie(边境牧羊犬) Tilly were driving on a highway in Idaho when their vehicle collided with another car. No one was seriously injured in the crash, but police asked for people in the area to be on the lookout for Tilly, who was ejected from the vehicle when the back window broke and ran off.

琳达·奥斯瓦尔德（Linda Oswald）的家人和他们2岁的边境牧羊犬蒂莉在爱达荷州的高速公路上行驶时，他们的车与另一辆车相撞。没有人在车祸中受重伤，但警方要求该地区的人注意蒂莉，当后窗破碎后时，蒂莉被弹出车外并跑掉了。

The family also created a Facebook post with a picture of Tilly in hopes of finding their beloved pet. The post reached a farm a mile and a half from the accident where two brothers, Travis and Zane Potter, noticed something strange. “The sheep were getting scared... all our dogs were freaking out,” Travis said. “I think that dog was trying to herd(放牧).”

这家人还在脸书上发布了带蒂莉照片的一个帖子，希望能找到他们心爱的宠物。帖子内容到达了距离事故一英里半的一个农场，在那里特拉维斯（Travis）和赞恩·波特（Zane Potter）两兄弟发现了奇怪的事情。特拉维斯说：“羊都吓坏了……我们所有的狗都畏惧了。我想那只狗是想放牧。”

Then he got a call from his grandmother who had seen the post about the missing dog on Facebook. “My grandma, she actually lives in Southern California, and she found the post and she sent that to me,” Travis said.

然后，他接到祖母的电话，她在脸书上看到了关于小狗失踪的帖子。特拉维斯说：“我奶奶，她实际上住在南加州，她发现了那个帖子，把它发给了我。”
