There was a story on the news the other night that I thought everyone might find interesting.
A couple lost their dog. They put up posters and asked everyone they knew if they had seen it. They waited and hoped the dog would be found and returned. They were devasted, but eventually gave up hope and went on with their lives. I believe they live in Florida, and the dog was one of those small, hairy, adorably cute things that I just can't remember the name of. :rolleyes:
A few days ago, someone in Ohio (I believe) found a poor little doggy wondering the streets. They picked him up and brought him to a vet. After doing a thorough check up on the dog and finding him fine but a bit scruffy, they read the doggie's ID chip and found the name and address of the owners - in Florida!
When the owners were contacted they couldn't believe it.....the poor puppy had been missing for 6 years!
They said the dog was fine and had not lived on the street for 6 years. It was obvious that the dog had been well taken care of except for the last few days, and no one knew why he was out on the street, or how he had gotten from Florida to Ohio. The good news was the owners were ecstatic to have their baby alive and well and back home again. :)
Sorry if some of the details are hazy. I heard this a few days ago and haven't had a chance to post it until today.
