A Story from our agency:

  In early April an over-the-road trucker stopped on the west side of Lincoln to let his dog take a break. An errant rabbit must have hopped by, because his beautiful young Golden Retriever disappeared and was nowhere to be found. Heartsick, the trucker had to move on. His girlfriend in California called Capital Humane Society to leave a detailed lost dog report, including a microchip number. It wasn't until the middle of May that a young Golden Retriever turned up at our building. An alert office clerk thought to check the old report and found the microchip match. She was able to contact the trucker in Florida and confirm that we had his dog, safe and sound. We found out that the wayward pooch's name was "Chuck" and when animal care staff started calling him by name he jumped up and down and barked, as if to say "At last, you've figured out who I am!" The owner was overjoyed and immediately arranged to drop his truck box in Texas, so he could return back to Nebraska to retrieve his Retriever! The reunion between man and dog was on a rainy Sunday, but the sun was bright in their hearts. We love happy endings!
