They went out several days in a row, staying out until 3am in the morning, but Bellanca kept escaping.

After seven failed attempts at saving Bellanca, Eldad Hagar wasn’t sure they would ever catch her. Then they discovered where Bellanca was sleeping – thick in the underbrush. “Her terrible fear and lack of trust was heartbreaking,” said Eldad in the video. But watch what happens moments after Eldad manages to ensnare her. “It only took a bit of kindness and she became a different dog,” he wrote.
