Missing dog in Virginia captured after 6 months on the run: 'Almost lost hope'

When Samantha Paulino of Arlington, Virginia, adopted a rescue dog from South Korea, she had no idea that her new pet would survive for six months on the run by herself, eluding attempts to rescue her along the way.

Paulino's dog, Autumn, arrived in the United States in Sept. 2023. From the beginning, it was clear to the owner that Autumn had anxiety and "a tendency to let loose and just wanting to be independent." 

Much of Autumn's history before her rescue is unknown, Paulino told Fox News Digital in an on-camera interview.
