Jenny Hazard's world momentarily shattered when she discovered that Bear, her elderly canine companion, had disappeared from their backyard. Fearing the worst due to Bear's age and heart condition, Hazard frantically searched for him. It didn't take long for her to notice the gate was ajar, and Bear was nowhere to be found.

"After about 15 or 20 minutes, I was just in tears," Hazard recounted, expressing her concern for Bear's well-being.

Desperate for help, she turned to social media, sharing a picture of her beloved dog and pleading for the community to keep an eye out.

The unexpected twist in this canine caper came when Hazard received a text message that would relieve her worries but leave her laughing. It turned out that Bear wasn't in any danger – he was at the local bar, Finks, approximately a mile away, having the time of his life.

"Great, I am relieved he’s okay – but what's he doing at a bar? (laughs)" Hazard told Fox 6 Milwaukee.

As the story unfolded, it was revealed that Bear had found himself in the company of a group of girls on a bar-hopping adventure. The owners of Finks reported that the ladies had apparently picked up Bear on the street, and their first stop was, indeed, Finks.
