A service dog that went missing in California two years ago has been found safe and alive in Northeast Ohio.
CLEVELAND — At the West Park Animal Hospital in Cleveland, stray animals are often brought in after being separated from their owners. But for Honey, a 5-year-old German shepherd, her arrival at the animal hospital was prefaced by a journey unlike most of the other pets brought in.
"A little number pops up on the microchip scanner. And it's always like finding gold when that happens. So we run it up to the front desk, they look up the number and everything, and they found out that she is from California," Neumann said. The bond she had with her owner was stronger than the hospital could have realized—and one that never stopped over the past two years. Honey's owner had continued to register the dog so that if she ever was found and checked for a microchip, someone would know where she came from.
Since finding out Honey is a West Coast pup, Neumann, her rescue and the animal hospital have been raising money to help get her back home. They've raised most of it but are still a bit away. However, they've gone ahead and secured Honey's flight home, and on Saturday, she'll get on a plane and be reunited with her owner.
