A Wisconsin dog owner found her missing pup in an unusual place last week.

Milwaukee resident Jenny Hazard noticed that her 16-year-old Shih Tzu, Bear, disappeared from her backyard last Wednesday evening, according to FOX 6 Milwaukee.

"It was kind of just getting dark," Hazard told FOX 6. "I was outside with all three dogs."
