How One Photo Reunited A Man With His Long Lost Hotdog

Photographer Grant Douglas Miller was driving through rural Saskatchewan when he crested a hill and spotted something completely unexpected: a ten foot hotdog sculpture sitting atop an abandoned food truck. The weathered vehicle with Diggity Dawgs painted on its side sat beside an overgrown baseball diamond, looking peaceful but forgotten. Miller took a few photos and moved on, never imagining those images would reunite someone with a precious piece of their past.

Months later, a man named Kenny reached out after seeing the photo online. The truck had belonged to him from 2008 until 2015, when difficult life circumstances forced him to sell his beloved business that he had run with his wife and daughter. What makes the story even more remarkable is that the truck was originally built as a prop for a Canadian movie called Finn On The Fly before Kenny bought it at auction and converted it into a working food truck. After changing hands several times and serving briefly as a tour bus for a metal band, the Diggity Dawg had ended up abandoned in that field, pocked with bullet holes and beaten by prairie winds. Kenny used satellite images to locate the exact spot, drove out the next weekend, tracked down the reluctant owner, and finally convinced them to sell by explaining that the real value was in the hotdog sculpture itself. Now Kenny is restoring the Diggity Dawg to its former glory, proving that some treasures do come back.
