Sorry to hear that. Those things are smart (stubborn) dogs. I bet she always greeted you when you get home for the day. That is a nice looking dog. I like those forehead "sprouts".
Do you mind is I ask how old she was? Our WHD is 14 and I thought she was gone 3 times. Two years ago I thought she wouldn't survive a deer tracking behind the house. She had lymes really bad for a while and never recovered fully and this spring suffered through UTIs several times that wiped her out. Her vision and hearing is getting bad, and if she keeps peeing on the floor she will soon be seeing Cash. But I'm sure she would blood trail until exhaustion if I needed her.
