A Shih Tzu named Bandit ended up in an animal shelter in New Jersey in 2017. The older dog was very hungry at the time, had tangled fur and was not doing very well. He needed the urgent help he received at the shelter.
Bull's-eye
On the spot, the shelter checked the pooch's chip, and this idea turned out to be a bull's eye. It turned out that the owners of Bandit reported him missing years ago.
When we contacted the owners, they just couldn't believe that their beloved Bandit has finally been found. The doggy was stolen 5 years ago, which literally broke the hearts of its owners. – wrote the shelter in the post on Facebook.
Time to go home
During your stay at a shelter in Newark, Bandit required extensive medical attention, including a visit to a cardiologist. Fortunately, this amazing day has finally come, when he can finally return to his real home.
The day has finally come in which this beautiful boy and his amazing family are reunited. This meeting would never have happened if the Bandit family had not microchipped him. Thanks to this, this happy boy and his family are happy together again. – informs the shelter.
The hostel hopes the Bandit story will be a good motivation for all owners to provide their pets with a chip . As you can see, it's really important and can make a difference. Please remember the chips!
