Conway, a sweet and loving dog, disappeared from his Highlands County home in Florida in November. Sadly, despite his family’s best efforts to locate him, he was nowhere to be found.
The days quickly turned into weeks and then into months. And the dog was still gone.
For Conway’s grieving family, his devoted presence is now only a bittersweet memory. But that state wouldn’t last indefinitely.
Ten months after Conway disappeared, Conway was found by a stray puppy wandering alone in a street. The dog was old and thin. He was picked up and driven to the animal services division of the Highlands County Sheriff’s Office. No one knew where the dog came from, or how much he was missing.
The ragged dog couldn’t describe his past or identity. However, he did have the solution.
Authorities had all the information they had to notify Conway’s family after a fast scan revealed that he had been microchipped.
It was the end of their long suffering. At the sheriff’s office, a gathering was planned. Conway was finally able to return home.
Conway and his family’s lengthy ordeal came to an emotional conclusion, but theirs weren’t the only joyful tears shed. Unrelated people were compelled to participate when the reunion’s film was broadcast online.
Commenter: “I sobbed watching this video.” Another said, “That just made my eyes leak all down my face.”
Conway’s rescuers were overjoyed to see everything resolved and for a family’s heart to mend.
According to Scott Dressel of the Highlands County Sheriff’s Office, “the main goal of the Animal Services Unit is to restore animals to their owners or, if that isn’t possible, find them a new home.” “Any time we accomplish it, it is a triumph, but this one sticks out for all of us,” said the speaker.
