A 2-year-old English mastiff led astray by an escape-prone hound dog is happy to be home, but still stinks after being found stranded in muck at a wastewater treatment plant in Colorado. Gidget’s ordeal started when a walker coonhound named Buddy helped her escape from their house in Pueblo West on Sunday evening. “We have a hound dog that likes to play escape artist with the front door,” Mandi Smith said Tuesday. While Smith was out searching, an employee at a wastewater treatment plant about 6 miles (10 kilometres) from Smith’s house heard Gidget barking for help. “She was a star.”Campbell, a friend of Smith’s, had seen Buddy at the treatment plant, too, but was unable to catch up with him.
