Teary Moment Dog Returns to the Warm Arms of Her Owner After Getting Lost for Five Whole Years
Five years is a long time for any lost pet story to end well, but Dottie’s reunion did exactly that. After disappearing from her family’s life, the dog turned up in Cook County, Illinois, and a microchip search changed everything.
What started as a loose-dog report at the Evanston Animal Shelter led to a trail that eventually reached George Loving, Dottie’s owner. With help from Microchip Hunters, the shelter uncovered the dog’s real identity and learned she had been missing for years, not abandoned forever.
By the time Dottie was finally back in familiar arms, the emotional payoff was impossible to miss. Read on.
Tanya Ohanian was informed of a dog roaming around in the vicinity of Cook County, Illinois
As soon as Ohanian found out, she informed the dog's owner of the wonderful news. The dog's human father, George Loving, was astonished to learn that Dottie had returned.
Loving recalled that he had actually cried several nights about it. He was overjoyed to see his precious girl again because he had missed her for such a long time.
Dottie’s family was afraid that their pup might forget them after a long time
Although Dottie's owners were concerned that their dog might have eventually forgotten them, the dog proved them wrong, as she was happily astonished when she saw them. "It was just beautiful."
That reunion clearly hit everyone in the room at once.
It reminds us of the old dog who reunited with his hooman after being lost for over a month.

Not only was the family over the moon, but the shelter staff also felt happy for them
It must have been hard for Dottie’s owners not to know where their dog was or what had happened to her. It’s just like looking for something important only to find it when you must have forgotten about it.
It’s a wonderful feeling indeed. Please feel free to share this heartfelt story with all your dog-loving family and friends.
