Awww, poor thing! I'm so glad that Duck is OK and back with your daughter.
My parents' dog, Goofy (14yr Boston Terrier), wandered away from their home in the country one night and they couldn't find him anywhere....they were incredibly upset and crying. Mom called me in the morning to tell me they were up all night trying to find him in the dark. He is almost completely deaf and almost blind with cataracts.
We drove out there and I started scanning the farm fields of corn and beans. We found him while driving and he was wandering around in circles in the bean field about 2-3 miles from home. If he had been in the corn, we'd never have found him. He had crossed a creek and was muddy and wet and just kept heading south because (we think) at home they have a long driveway and walking back up to the house is south. I ran over to him and had to tap him on the shoulder get his attention and picked him up. He was so happy to be found. But after a minute I had to put him down to readjust my jacket and he turns around and heads back south again, lol.
Poor Goofy had been wandering around all night long. He got his name because of all the odd behaviors he has, lol, but has always been a good dog.
