🐦 Bob's miraculous journey

Bob is an experienced homing pigeon from the northeast UK... but even experienced travelers get lost sometimes. He was on a routine trip from the Channel Islands to his home in Gateshead, when he took a wrong turn somewhere along the route. 

• Bob's owner Alan Todd was worried when his bird didn't make it home by the end of the day as planned. As the days passed, he worried he would never see Bob again. 

✈️ Sweet home... Alan was understandable shocked when, after three weeks of Bob missing, the bird was found in a backyard in Alabama, USA. That's four thousand miles from where his journey began. 

🐦❤️ Bottom line: Other than being a bit dehydrated, Bob made it to Alabama in great health. He was taken care of by a shelter while waiting for his Dad to make the trek across the Atlantic to bring him home.
