If you have a loved one with dementia or know anyone who does, you understand the panic and fear that 80-year-old Roberta Crowley’s family felt when she went out to walk her dog ... and the dog returned without her. Luckily, this real-life nightmare had a happy ending.
Crowley resides in a remote part of Brandywine, Maryland, with her daughter, granddaughter, and great-granddaughter. Taking her dog for a walk up and down the driveway was something Roberta did several times a day, but when she didn’t come back, her daughter knew something was horribly wrong.
