Beagle missing for 8 years found 1,400 miles away, finally reunites with family.
Losing a dog is always a tough situation, but it’s crucial to stay positive because there’s always a chance they might come back unexpectedly, even after a long time. Just like the heartwarming story of a beagle who went missing for eight years before reuniting with his family.
The adorable pup, Roscoe, vanished in 2015 when he was only a year old, as reported by the Wichita Eagle. No one knows how he managed to slip away from his home back then.
After tirelessly searching for their beloved dog, Roscoe, in Wichita, Kansas, owner Nicolle Leon and her family were devastated when they couldn’t find him despite checking the local shelter every day for months. As time passed, they sadly accepted that they might never see him again.
A surprising turn of events happened last month on January 11, when Nicolle received an unexpected phone call in the middle of the night. The caller informed her that they had found her dog, leaving her initially thinking it was one of her current dogs that had gotten out.
To her amazement, it was Roscoe, who had been missing for eight years and was found in Caldwell, Idaho, a staggering 1,400 miles away from home. Nicolle’s excitement at the news was overwhelming, as she never imagined they would be reunited with their long-lost pooch after so much time had passed.
In a recent post on a community page dedicated to lost pets on Facebook, it was shared that a dog named Roscoe had been discovered as a stray. Two local women, Shae DeBerry and Katherine Miller, found him and checked for a microchip. To their surprise, the chip revealed that Roscoe had been missing for quite some time. The women quickly contacted the family, and arrangements were made for Roscoe to be reunited with his owners.
Shae shared the heartwarming news on Facebook, mentioning that on Friday the 13th of January, Roscoe was loaded onto a transport van to begin his journey back home. The family was overjoyed to have him back after so many years.
Although it remains a mystery what Roscoe has been up to during his time away, the owner expressed feeling sad about missing out on eight years with him.
Despite the changes in their household, the family was overjoyed to be reunited with their beloved dog after so many years. Nicolle’s children, who were just young kids when Roscoe went missing, are now teenagers, and the family has since welcomed two more dogs into their home. However, the passage of time hasn’t diminished the love they feel for Roscoe, and they are all eager to make up for the lost time they missed with him.
Nicolle shared her concerns about whether Roscoe would still remember them, but any doubts were quickly dispelled as he eagerly greeted them with tail wagging and excitement. He couldn’t contain his joy as he jumped all over Nicolle’s kids, showing just how happy he was to be back with his family.
“It’s a great feeling to have him back and to care for him for the rest of his life,” Nicolle expressed to the Wichita Eagle, reflecting the deep bond they share with Roscoe and the happiness they feel in having him home once again.
