Conway, the missing pup
This sweet dog Conway went missing from his home in Highlands County, Florida in November 2021. His heartbroken family looked far and wide but, sadly, to no avail. They didn’t want Conway to become a distant memory as days turned to weeks, and weeks turned to months with the poor pup still not at home, The Dodo writes.
The family had no idea what life had in store for them.
Found thanks to a microchip
10 months to the day after Conway disappeared, a stray dog was spotted wandering the streets alone. It looked skinny and exhausted.
The pup was picked up and taken to the Highlands County Sheriff's Office’s animal services unit. Thankfully, it was microchipped. After a quick scan, authorities had an answer to who that stray pooch was. They alerted Conway’s heartbroken family that their dog was found and well!
Emotional reunion
Even though the pup looked almost nothing like the healthy, happy dog he was when he went missing, the family were overjoyed as many months of heartache now came to a close.
A reunion was arranged at the sheriff’s station, and Conway couldn’t stop showering his special humans with kisses while they were crying happy tears, in disbelief their family was complete again.
But they weren’t the only ones to shed tears. After the video of the reunion was posted online, complete strangers couldn’t help but join in, too.
Conway’s rescuers in Highlands County Sheriff's Office couldn’t have been happier to see the result of their work.
