50 Times Dogs Returned To Their Home After Going Missing & It’s Heartwarming

Home is where the heart is. 

This is something that holds true for most species. Even dogs, if you by what these dogs did. Usually, we fear our pets getting lost. After all, there are always so many cases of cats or dogs going missing. And since there is always a high percentage chance that you may never find them. That is why it is necessary to keep them safe and in your home if they are not used to going outside or don’t know how to go back home.

However, sometimes even after taking all the precautions that one can, your dog or cat may still get lost. That is the moment that can break down even the strongest among us. As these pets are a part of our family, it is like losing your child. But these people got to see their fluffy children once again. In some cases, it only took a few days, while in others, they were reunited after many years.

There are many stories similar to the scenario mentioned above, which you can see below.

This is why people should put a microchip on their pets. At the same time, it doesn’t always safeguard your pet against getting lost. But if your pet finds its way to a shelter, they will check for a chip. Most of these people found their dogs just because of a chip. And there is no need to worry about the fact that your pet may not recognize you after so many years. After all, dogs have excellent memories when it comes to smell and will remember you if they had a good impression of you beforehand.
