A dog has been returned to her family who had been looking for her for 5 years.
Barney and his family are on vacation. A man and his dog had an exciting encounter at a shelter 5 years after the latter disappeared. She must have been stolen before the police found her wandering the streets.
The dog was returned to the family, who had been looking for her for 5 long years, on Thursday, May 12, according to WKYT.
We are talking about a female pit bull named Ginger. Its owners have not heard of the animal since 2017. They think it was stolen from them.
They never stopped looking for her, but knew only disappointment and false hope. Ginger was hopelessly nowhere to be found.
Still hoping for his return, her owner Barney saw her family grow.
The situation changed on May 1, when Beloit police posted a message on social media about a stray dog in the square. Police posted a photo of her sitting in the back seat of a police car and urged witnesses to try to find the owners.
A few days after she was admitted to the Southern Wisconsin Humane Society shelter, Barney contacted the organization because he thought he recognized his dog in a photograph.
This week he went to the shelter to make sure it was Ginger and it was her. It’s good that they are reunited.
