This is a story of a dog that was missing for a year and a half. There are many stories like this. Never say Never and Hold onto Hope!! Here is the story of a Jack Russell Terrier that ended very happy a year and a half later!!
Dogs that have gone missing can be part of many families during the course of their wayward adventure. The case of this Jack Russell terrier is a perfect example. After digging out of his backyard—and losing his ID tag in the process—he wandered around until a woman found him and brought him to her home. The Jack Russell lived with his new owner for over a year when, for some reason, she decided she didn't want him anymore. She then took the dog to a vet to be put down. Seeing that the pooch was healthy and only a few years old, the vet refused. Fortunately, the vet's assistant took a liking to the dog, and the Jack Russell now became part of her family. Things were going along just fine—until the big thunderstorm. It seems the Jack Russell was terrified of thunder. He got so scared, he jumped through a screen window to escape. Once on the outside, he wandered around until he found shelter in front of a house. The family that lived there saw him and brought him to their veterinarian's office to have him examined. The vet noticed that the Jack Russell was microchipped, which led to a phone call to the humane society where he was registered. The humane society then called the Jack Russell's original (and very heartbroken) family. They had spent several months desperately searching for their beloved dog, and they thought they would never see him again. The phone call from the humane society led to a very emotional reunion, one that was a year-and-a-half in the making.
