“Ultimately shares brought him home,” Nelson said.

A resident on nearby Hearthstone Drive in Cheshire spotted Bryce last Thursday, but he ran away, Nelson said.

Bryce returned to the resident’s driveway early Tuesday morning looking to play with other dogs. The resident was able to coax Bryce into coming inside and she then called Nelson to let her know he was found.
