It’s always heartbreaking when a pet goes missing, especially when it’s a pet you depend on for emotional support.
But sometimes, lost pets find their way back to us when we least expect it, even months or years after they have vanished. Recently, one woman experienced this miracle when she was joyfully reunited with her emotional support dog after two long years apart.
Two years ago, Samantha Powers from Fort Wayne, Indiana, faced immense sadness when her emotional support dog, Loki, got out and went missing while a friend was watching him.
Despite tirelessly searching everywhere, it seemed her beloved dog was gone for good. “I kind of lost hope after a while,” she shared with WPTA.
She thought she might never see Loki again.
Then came the miracle. The folks at Fort Wayne Animal Care and Control (FWACC) made an astonishing discovery. They found a dog running loose and, upon scanning for a microchip, found it was Loki, very much alive and seemingly healthy despite being gone for so long.
Samantha “could not contain her excitement that we had her baby,” FWACC shared on Facebook.
A video captured the heartfelt moment when Samantha and Loki were reunited. The dog joyfully jumped as he recognized his old owner—a reunion that truly left “not a dry eye in the room.”
Although it’s unclear who had been caring for Loki these past two years, he appeared to be well taken care of.
Both Samantha and the animal control officers emphasized the importance of getting pets microchipped. It’s this technology that made such a heartfelt reunion possible, even after years apart.
“The microchip was a lifesaver,” Samantha told WPTA. “Without that, I wouldn’t have gotten my boy back.”
What an amazing reunion—we’re so glad Samantha has her beloved dog Loki back after 2 years apart!
