"Smell the pee! Smell the pee! Good dog!"

This is a heartwarming story about a family, a dog, and pee. A while back, the Baltesz family of Bristol, England, lost their black Lab Simon. The dog had run off and been seen a number of times in the neighborhood. Was Simon just lost? Probably!

To help Simon find his way home, the Baltesz family used the “bread crumb” strategy. You know, like in fairy tales where kids leave a trail of bread crumbs behind them so that they don’t get lost? But instead of bread crumbs, the Balteszs are using urine…their OWN urine, because Simon knows what it smells like. 

That means they fill bottles with their pee and then sprinkle it in places that Simon was seen…and then they lay urine trails back home!

This actually makes sense to me. I haven’t heard if it worked or not, but good luck! (Story here.)
