Spoilers for 'The Walking Dead' Season 10, Episode 18 'Find Me'

The bonus episodes of 'The Walking Dead' have been quite a treat for the fans of the AMC thriller, and the upcoming Season 10 Episode 18, 'Find Me' brings us the story of Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus) and well, his dog. If you're a fan of the show, you would remember that the canine character named Dog was first seen in Season 9's Episode 7, titled 'Stradivarius' when Rick's (Andrew Lincoln) left the series. During a preview special back in February, showrunner Angela Kang had promised that the bonus episode would bring us more on this so we couldn't be happier. In fact, Kang, as per ComicBook said, "We will get to see a little Dog, a little baby puppy Dog."

Who does Dog belong to?

Norman Reedus as Daryl Dixon, Melissa McBride as Carol and Dog (AMC)

We had seen Dog for the first time when Daryl, Carol (Melissa McBride), and Henry (Matthew Lintz) were walking through a forest with Daryl exclaiming that Dog had eaten yesterday when Carol questioned it. It is obvious that Dog and Daryl have a bond, but we had no idea how it happened or how it was formed. Lo and behold, 'Find Me' finally gives us some answers in its flashback episode. In fact, Dog isn't even Daryl's to begin with. We know that Daryl was on his own for six years, and 'Find Me' takes us back to the time, one of those memories being the first time he saw Dog. The lovable canine actually belongs to Leah (Lynn Collins). Apparently, Dog, Leah, and Daryl had formed a bond after they had all lived in Leah's cabin. Unfortunately, Leah vanishes, leaving Daryl alone with the Dog who had been by his side for 6 years.

Without giving too much away, we've managed to give you enough of suspense for you to make sure you don't miss the new episode. The official synopsis of the 'Find Me' reads, "Daryl and Carol find an old cabin that takes Daryl back to his years away from the group after Rick disappeared; he relives the painful memory of meeting a reticent survivor and the toxic events that amplified his relationship with Dog."

The Walking Dead' Season 10, Episode 18 'Find Me' will premiere on Sunday, March 7, at 9 pm EST.
