When the Krier family discovered that their beloved Black Labrador, Bo, had vanished, panic quickly set in. They began an urgent search, scouring the area for any sign of their furry friend.
Bo was always a curious soul. He loved adventures and had a knack for slipping out of their home in Concordia, Kansas, to explore on his own.
Usually, Bo’s escapades ended with him happily trotting back home. But this time felt different.
That evening, Bo had wandered off after his mom let him outside for a bathroom break — and he never returned.
Family Gets A Glimmer Of Hope
The Kriers were distraught. Their sweet dog was nowhere to be found. Laura Krier, Bo’s mom, shared his photo on social media, asking anyone who spotted him to contact the family immediately.
The next day, a wave of relief washed over the family when Kyle Krier, Bo’s dad, received a tip — someone had seen a dog matching Bo’s description darting through a cornfield about six miles away.
Without hesitation, Kyle drove to the location. As soon as Bo spotted him, the dog bolted toward him with tail wagging and ears flapping.
Overjoyed to see his pup safe, Kyle soon noticed something unusual — Bo wasn’t running alone. Two more figures followed close behind, barely visible in the distance.
Bo’s Friends Come Along For The Ride
As the group approached, Kyle realized Bo had brought company: a dog and… a goat.
Ever the good buddy, Bo didn’t want to leave his pals behind. Naturally, he invited them to hop into Kyle’s red truck. All three of them clambered in and settled in for the ride to town.
Later, the Kriers discovered that Bo’s companions — Libby the dog and Ozzy the goat — were neighbors’ pets.
It became clear that after sneaking out, Bo must’ve headed over to visit his friends. Whether Bo was the mastermind or not remained a mystery, but their humans were certain the trio had orchestrated the outing together.
“It’s difficult to say if Bo the black Lab or Libby and Ozzy were the culprit in starting the adventure. But, nonetheless, they escaped. They’re pals for sure,” Shawna Huggans told The Dodo.
Bo was clearly thrilled to have partners-in-crime who shared his adventurous spirit.
Bo’s Joyful Life
The lovable Labrador continued making new goat friends and living his best life in Kansas, still managing the occasional escape for a little fun.
Tragically, in July 2022, Laura posted on Facebook that their sweet Bo had crossed the rainbow bridge. The family’s hearts were broken.
“He was so perfect from the day we picked him as a puppy, it’s truly unexplainable! The happiness he brought us all everyday, his funny personality. His love to go with dad to work, his love to go on walks or jogs even if I couldn’t keep up with his energy and his love for hot dogs will live on forever with us everyday,” she wrote.
Bo’s life was filled with love, laughter, and endless adventures. He was more than a pet — he was family. And though he’s gone, the memories he left behind continue to bring smiles to those who knew him.
