Massachusetts Animal Control Officer locates dog stolen from family 9 years ago
This story is one for the ages, and with a positive ending!
According to Stoughton Police, on Wednesday afternoon Animal Control Officer Michelle Carlos responded to a loose Yorkie running on Record Street. The Yorkie had not been taken care of. ACO Carlos fed him, gave him some fresh water and a good bath. She then checked for a microchip, and it revealed his name is Rex, he is 11 years old and belonged to a woman named Marzena out of Boston.
ACO Carlos called Marzena and explained that she had Rex. Marzena, shocked to be hearing from ACO Carlos, explained that Rex had been stolen from her 9 years ago in Boston. Marzena had purchased Rex for her family to help ease the pain of losing a family member, only to have Rex taken from them.
Marzena quickly came to meet ACO Carlos at the Stoughton Police Department where the two were reunited for the first time in almost a decade. Marzena reported that Rex had a great night back at home and loved meeting her kids. He was treated to a day of beauty upon his return.
ACO Carlos stressed the importance of microchipping pets.
