Show Me the Way To Go Home
AYorkshire Terrier dog that went missing in Texas more than 13 years ago has been reunited with its owner after being positively identified by a microchip.
Rescue experts in Fort Worth recovered the dog last week after a call from a concerned cit- izen and noted in a Facebook post it had been thin, wounded and “horribly matted.” And after some investigation, it emerged the small mix breed had been missing for over a decade.
The wounded canine, named Remington, or Remi for short, was traced back to original owner Aaron Webster, who lives with his fam- ily in Houston.
Officials from Fort Worth Animal Care & Control who found the pup contacted another rescue group called Saving Hope, which got the dog medical attention and helped track its ownership history. Both organizations shared video footage of the emotional reunion to their social media pages.
Houston is approximately 262 miles from Fort Worth, and it remains unclear what hap- pened to the dog during its lengthy disappear- ance. According to Saving Hope, the dog was stolen from a family member’s yard when he was just nine weeks old and the family had searched for months.
McKenzie Smith, a Saving Hope volunteer, said the dog was picked up one weekend, last month. “After all these years he finally got home and we’re just so excited we were able to help,” Smith told KXAS, which reported the rescue team re-homed more than 700 dogs as of December 2019.
“Remington was reunited with his original family, who couldn’t have been happier to have him back in their family,” the Fort Worth Animal Care & Control said on Facebook. It added: “Thank you to Saving Hope for helping make this reunion possible, and to Remington’s family for microchipping him and updating their contact information as they continued to search. Remember microchips are a permanent way to identify your pet should it ever go missing!”
