Anyone who's ever had a dog pass away knows how devastating it is to lose them.
After all, dogs are members of our family, and for many they're lifelong friends and companions. There's no denying that having to bury a pet is heartbreaking, but in my opinion, actually losing a pet can be way worse.
Losing your dog is terrifying. You have no idea where they are, if they're alive or dead, or if you'll ever see them again. While some dogs turn up over time, like this dog who ran off during Hurricane Sandy but made his way home months later, a lot of times people aren't so lucky. You may think your dog will always find their way home, but as you can learn from this woman who had her pooch stolen out of a parking lot, there are some truly evil people out there.
When Kelly Booker of Denver, CO lost his beloved dog Lilly back in 2011, he was devastated. Booker had no idea whether his tiny Shih Tzu was stolen or if Fourth of July fireworks scared her and she never returned home, but after four years he had understandably given up his search. Little did Booker know that Lilly was alive and well in Chicago, a jaw-dropping 900 miles away from where she went missing.
Someone found Lilly and brought her to a shelter to be treated for an ear infection, when veterinarians discovered the microchip Booker had placed in Lilly. Thanks to generous donations from strangers on a Go Fund Me page Booker set up, the dog will soon be back in home in Denver with his family.
