Missing dog is found 1,700 kilometers from home after 7 years | Abroad

It is still unclear how the animal traveled such a distance. The police do know that the animal was stolen. “A phone call that your dog has been found is good news,” Eaton County Animal Control wrote on Facebook. The fact that the dog was found almost 2000 kilometers away seven years after the disappearance also made the news very special.

Chip

Shortly after it went missing, the Yorkshire Terrier was put up for sale on Craigslist, the American Marketplace. To the owner’s horror, someone had already pretended to be the rightful owner of the dog. She then filed a police report, but Pepper was not found. On Thursday, that suddenly changed. The chip of the dog was checked by a vet, which suddenly made it clear who actually owned Pepper.

For the past five years, Pepper has been part of a family ignorant of the animal’s stolen status. “Luckily they understand the situation,” Eaton County Animal Control wrote on Facebook. Upon hearing the news, the owner immediately flew from Florida, where she lives, to Michigan. “It’s another wise lesson for every dog ​​owner: make sure your pet is microchipped.”
