The dog, who was last seen on August 17th, was found wandering near the town of St. Johnsbury, Vermont. He was discovered by a local resident, who was walking their dog. The resident, who wishes to remain anonymous, contacted the Vermont State Police and reported the dog. The police then contacted the Vermont Humane Society, who took over the rescue efforts. The dog was found to be in a very poor condition, suffering from severe starvation and dehydration.

The dog was initially thought to be a stray, but it was later discovered that he was actually a beloved pet named Buckey. Buckey’s owner, a local farmer named Johnathan Smith, had been searching for him for over a week. The dog’s unusual appearance, with the bucket-like container around his head, led to speculation about his identity and potential dangers.
