Roby disappeared from Cochran's front yard on a November evening in San Angelo Texas, where she was stationed at Goodfellow Air Force Base. Cochran had returned to her front yard after letting Roby out for a routine bathroom break to find the dog missing and a dark pickup truck driving away into the darkness. She spent the next year trying to locate her best friend before being transferred out of state. She left Texas expecting that she would never see him again.
So when a letter arrived from the San Angelo animal shelter explaining that a stranger had dropped Roby off nearly four years later, she did what most any dog lover would do - and drove a thousand miles to retrieve her lost pal. A microchip implanted between Roby's shoulder blades is credited with reuniting the pair. Their reunion was captured in the following video. *if video will not play click here

ReplyDeleteAwww...it finally came up! OMD! My nephew is a corgi. It's so amazing he does remember her!!!
ReplyDeleteIt takes a few seconds to buffer....
ReplyDeleteThat is sweeeeeeet! Brought another tear to my eye! I'm going to go hug my crazy dog now!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for the both of them! There are so many things a pet owner can do to insure the return of their pet, even if it takes 3 plus years!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pawsome reunion!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet reunion! It seems like they were just really meant to be together!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome. Gotta go dry my eyes now... :)
ReplyDeleteAwww...I am so very much happy for Roby and his mommy! All 4 of us have those chippy things (even our kittehs even though they don't go outside). If he didn't have one, he never woulda found his way back home. What a lucky fella!

Your posts have been making me cry lately!
ReplyDeleteI had a cat disappear once. Never did find him. I had nightmares for months that he was stuffed in something - a mailbox, a picnic cooler, a BBQ grill, etc.
People told me repeatedly that he probably got eaten by a coyote. They seemed to have no sensitivity about telling me that either and didn't seem to understand why I got upset.
I wish my story had this same happy ending.
Thank you for such a wonderful story this morning. Brought tears of joy to my eyes for the both of them.
ReplyDeleteThis is just unbelievable!! I got tears welling.

That is an awesome story. Definitely a reason to microchip. It really is the only way to permanently connect you with your dog. I'm a big believer in collars and tags, but those can come off, but not a microchip.
ReplyDeleteI get greetings like that from Dennis. I love 'em.
