The cute stray puppy became a permanent resident at the assisted living facility across the street from the animal shelter, as the inhabitants grew so attached to him that they decided to adopt him.

Scout, a brown mixed breed dog, estimated to be around ten to twelve years old, was found as a stray in Michigan’s Antrim County Animal Shelter with pellets lodged in his jaw.

Heather Belknap, the shelter’s director, expressed to The Washington Post:

However, Scout had different intentions, and during 2017, the abandoned dog managed to escape from the Antrim County Animal Shelter on three separate occasions, all around midnight. Scout’s objective was to spend the night at Meadow Brook Medical Care Facility, a senior living facility.

After continuously escaping, he was taken in by the nursing home employees and has since been warmly embraced by the residents who now hold great affection for him. Can you rephrase this text for me?

After noticing that Scout had gone missing, the shelter took action to retrieve their stray dog and investigated how he managed to escape and return so swiftly.

Belknap discovered that in order for Scout to escape the animal shelter, he would have to navigate multiple fences and also cross a busy highway.

Afterward, she discovered that he made his way into the entrance of the senior residence by passing through the revolving doors upon crossing the street.

Once he stepped into the lobby, he comfortably sat on a brown couch and was observed falling asleep three times.

After being spotted on the couch in the lobby by a nurse, he was promptly returned to the animal shelter at the behest of the county sheriff.

Nevertheless, after Scout’s third and final unwelcome visit, he managed to win over Meadow Brook’s affection, to the extent that a staff member kindly offered to take the adorable puppy home.

However, she also had additional dogs residing in her household, and Scout didn’t get along well with all of them. Therefore, she had to think about how to handle the situation with the stray dog.

Because he was enticed to go to the nursing home initially, she and her colleagues came to a consensus that their workplace would be a perfect location for him.
