Dog who went missing from her home backyard shows up at her mom’s workplace after three weeks

- Alabama, USA -

A dog who went missing from the backyard of her family home in Dothan, showed up three weeks later at her mom’s workplace.

The furbaby, a 4-year-old black and white Lab Pitbull-mix named Abby, showed up at a Walmart store in Dothan on November 28.

Abby immediately caught the attention of Ms. Danielle Robinette, a customer service associate of the store.

She started following the security guard who was following Abby.

This little chase caused an inevitable stir in the store.

Ms. Robinette noticed Abby was looking around at people’s faces as if she was looking for someone.

Abby was not wearing a collar, a leash, or a service dog vest.

Abby’s mom, June Rountree is a cashier at that store and it just so happened that she was there working on the same very day!

While she was manning a checkout line on register No. 6, she noticed the commotion and turned around to see what was happening.

And there was Abby!

Mrs. Roundtree hugged Abby in tears while shoppers and her co-workers watched amazed without understanding what was going on.

Mrs. Roundtree hadn’t told anyone that Abby went missing which I find weird.

She then explained that Abby was her dog and said that after she went missing, with her husband they looked for Abby in their neighborhood and checked with the Dothan Animal Shelter without luck.

Mrs. Roundtree told the Dothan Eagle: “I was just in shock. I looked down at her and I couldn’t believe it, just could not believe it was her. I felt like I was in a dream. I started in tears and I couldn’t talk with anybody.”

Mrs. Roundtree took Abby back home while on her lunch break.

Reportedly, after being happily reunited with her fursibling Coco, a 6-month-old Chiweenie, Abby went straight to sleep in her bed.

It’s a mystery how Abby was able to find her mom at 1.7 miles from their home in the Cloverdale neighborhood across Ross Clark Circle and U.S. Highway 231, two heavily traveled roads.

Ms. Robinette could not believe what was unfolding right in front of her eyes and the following day she shared this amazing reunion on her Facebook account.

Panda a lucky Washington cat turned up in Alaska and then returned back home thanks to a fundraiser

- Washington - Alaska, USA -

A cat living in Washington state ended up in Alaska and was then reunited with his guardians a few days ago.

Josh and Christina Clevenger said their cat Panda has always loved to travel but his daily adventures were happening within the neighborhood until his last one that took him way out of state.

Clevenger posted an appeal on Facebook when Panda did not return home after being out, for nearly a week.

Clevenger wrote: “Looking for our Cat named Panda. Has been gone for a week. He does usually run off but he comes back. He’s always ready for when dad comes home for lunch and he has not been coming. Very worried and just want him home. If anyone has seen him or picked him up we don’t blame you [he’s] adorable and [quite] the little lover so all I’m asking is for you to bring him home. I promise he is in a loving caring home that misses him sooooo freaking much! Corner of James Rd and Independence Rd in Rochester.

PLEASE come home Panda PLEASE”

Meanwhile, someone more than 3,000 miles away from Panda’s home, posted an appeal of their own on Facebook.

Mr. Liam Poole, a Home Depot employee in Alaska, posted on a King County animal lost and found page that a black and white cat had been randomly found in the back of a delivery truck.

Cattitude Daily reports: “With incredibly good luck and timing, Christina’s aunt just happened to see that post and was amazed at how much the cat looked like Panda.”

Despite the fact that Panda is irresponsibly let out to roam exposed to potential danger and abuse, he is not microchipped.

Reportedly, his guardians were able to identify him thanks to his unique markings and collar.

Panda’s guardians received help from a nonprofit called ‘United Angels’ to get Panda back in Washington.

United Angels set up a fundraiser to help pay for Panda’s journey.

While Panda was in Alaska, he stayed with fosters and was examined by a vet.

Panda was reunited with his guardians after 29 days.

He must have been scared and confused.

Panda cannot tell us how he turned up in ‘The Last Frontier’.

Cattitude Daily reports that “The running theory is that the curious cat entered a freight container near his home in Rochester and was locked inside. That container was then put on a barge to Alaska, and then it was trucked to a Home Depot in Kenai. By the time the employee opened the truck and found him, Panda had most likely gone 9 days with no food or water.”

I wish more furparents were more aware of what could happen to our furbabies when they are allowed to roam outside without our supervision.

We hear and read about animal related stories every day and sadly, not all of them have a happy ending like this one.

Dog’s guardian drives 1,200 miles to be reunited with his dog after six months – Voice For Us

- Tennessee, USA -

The Washington County, TN Animal Shelter wrote in a Facebook post that a dog they named Blue, went missing just over six months ago and his guardian Pat searched all over for him.

Sadly, Pat had to leave Tennessee and moved to Texas for work.

Thinking he would never see Blue again, Pat was surprised when a friend of his saw a video of Blue playing ball at the shelter and immediately sent it to him.

Pat then contacted the shelter and said: “That’s my dog!”

He was already in Texas at the time, so he drove 1,200 miles to go get his dog.

An emotional video posted by the Washington County, TN Animal Shelter, shows a tearful Pat that while he is thanking the staff for taking such a good care of Blue, the furbaby just wags his tail non-stop, licks him all over, and jumps up and down with a tennis ball in his mouth.

The shelter wrote that while they don’t have many stories with a happy ending, this is why they “NEVER GIVE UP!”
