Back in February, I posted some photos that I took at my local shelter. As it often happens, several of the dogs were adopted in just a few days and there were a few who seemed destined to become long term residents.
One of those dogs, due to her size and strength (probably), was still at the shelter when I visited again a few weeks later. But, then something wonderful happened. Her owner came and claimed her!
As it turns out, her owner went away on vacation and the person watching her somehow let her get loose. When the guy got home from vacation, he found his dog gone and had been searching for her for over eight weeks. He even posted a $500 reward! I still have to investigate to get more details, but I’m guessing that she must have wandered pretty far away from home and thus the owner never thought to check our shelter.
Eventually, he found her photo on the shelter web site, called and then came to get her! A wonderful reunion.
