I try to sink my imagination into that dog's two years....being stolen first of all, being no doubt transported to an unfamiliar place, then escaping maybe when someone left a cage, house door or gate open. Then whatever happened in the wilderness areas of British Columbia, is anyone's guess.
The chance is that dog made friends in one way or another with people/a person. Otherwise he would have been very vulnerable out in the open, in the wild, through the winters especially.
And to go from a domesticated situation to successful hunting in the wilderness at least three times a week would be very difficult for a dog. Also there would be dangers and predators, or rivals such as wolves.
It sounds like he made friends. I guess we will never know.
