Abby wandered off in 2008 when Debra Suierveld and her kids were outside playing with her. They searched all over but had given up hope of ever seeing the dog again. Then, 10 years later, they received a phone call from the Animal Protectors Shelter in Pennsylvania.

“I was, like, ‘Abby?’ I said, ‘I haven’t seen her for 10 years,” the pet owner said in the interview. “So I was pretty shocked.”
The shelter posted of photo of the dog and owner seeing each other again after a decade apart on Instagram:
In both instances, a microchip managed to get these dogs back where they belong, which is why the Guilford Animal Shelter also took the time to remind folks that microchips can be a great way to relocate missing pets, and that it’s a service they offer at their facility.
“Did you know that we can microchip your pets at the shelter for only $10.00 every day between 2pm and 3pm. This is the best way to ensure that if you and your pet become separated, your chance at a happy reunion can have this same result,” the shelter wrote on Facebook.
We’re so happy to see these pets make their way back home!
