HANNIBAL, Mo. - A 9-month-old Yorkie wasn't about to leave aMissouri rest stop without his master. Mistakenly left behind by anArkansas truck driver, Rambo waited there for two days until hisowner was able to track him down. Rambo jumped out of Michael Siau's rig when Siau stopped at a restarea near Hannibal on Friday, the Hannibal Courier-Post reported. "Didn't even cross my mind that he might jump out. He neverhas before," Siau said. "I jumped back in the truck, putit in gear and drove off. And I just thought he was in the backasleep." Siau made it all the way to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, 170 miles (273kilometres) to the north, before he realized Rambo was gone. But heknew if he turned around, his schedule would be thrown off and hisjob jeopardized. Siau was heartbroken. In October, Rambo's father, Ollie, who alsoaccompanied Siau on trips, was run over and killed. Siau was sodistraught he took six months off work, and the thought of losinganother dog was too much to bear. Siau said he was "freaking out" as he tried to determinewhere Rambo was lost. He finally concluded the puppy must havegotten out in Missouri. Siau began calling authorities. By Sunday morning, he had learnedHannibal had jurisdiction over the rest area. Hannibal animalcontrol officer Tim Ledbetter was sent to the site. Sure enough, little Rambo was there, sitting patiently. But he might not have been there much longer. Ledbetter said afamily that had stopped at the rest area was just about to adoptthe apparently lost puppy. "In about 60 seconds, he would have been gone," Ledbettersaid. Siau was in Hannibal Tuesday to pick up his buddy and thank thoseat the animal shelter who found Rambo and took care of him. When a shelter worker brought the dog out for the reunion, Ramboheard Siau call his name and began to whimper, tremble and squirm.Once in Siau's arms, Rambo climbed up his shoulder and begankissing the back of his neck. "You've never been this excited," Siau said. Siau and Rambo then left for the next stop, Tennessee. From now on,Siau said, he'll always make sure Rambo is on board.
