Woman Reunites With Her Dog Who Was Missing For Twelve Years

Woman Reunites With Her Dog Who Was Missing For Twelve Years

Paquita Gillis November 10, 2019

If there’s one thing pet parents fear about, it’s losing their beloved companion and never seeing them again. Katheryn Strang from Orlando, Florida, never expected that this would happen to her.

Katheryn’s dog named Dutchess went missing from her home twelve years ago. Fearing the worst, she thought she’d never see her pup again.

A lot can happen in twelve years. Although Katheryn is still hopeful that she would see her pup again, at the back of her mind, she knew it was already impossible. That was until she received a phone call.

A man from Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, found a shaking old dog under his woodshed. The pup was clearly out of shape, so the man immediately brought it to Humane Animal Rescue so the staff there can take care of it.

A volunteer from the center checked for a microchip, and they saw one implanted in the dog’s skin. They looked up the details linked to it and found out that the owner was from Florida — a thousand miles away from where they were.

Thinking that the owner might have moved houses, they called the number anyway. They were able to talk to Katheryn, who positively identified her lost pup.

“Katheryn told us the story of her lost dog, and we were all shocked but excited at the same time. It’s something you only think would happen in movies,” Torin Fisher from Humane Animal Rescue mentioned.

Dutchess has survived on her own for the past twelve years, and a thousand miles away from her owner. Katheryn scheduled to meet with the staff to bring her old friend back home.

Katheryn was in tears as soon as she had Dutchess in her hands. “It was mixed emotions — I still can’t believe it. But I saw how badly she needs food, shelter, and a nail trim!” the lady mentioned.

“I continued to pay for the $15 annual fee to keep her microchip active. And I would continue for many more years hadn’t I found her,” she added.

It’s stories like these that make us hope for the best for these animals. Check out Katheryn and Dutchess’s heartwarming reunion in the video below.
