A dog who went missing in 2017 from the Atlanta area was found alive last week in West Virginia, nearly 500 miles away from home.
/Gray News) – A dog that went missing in 2017 from the Atlanta area was found alive last week in West Virginia, nearly 500 miles away from home.His owner, Tara Hillis, said the dog either jumped her fence or dug underneath it and got out.“I honestly thought I’d never see him again,” Hillis said. “Initially, I thought maybe someone took him to try to breed him, but he’s fixed. So many years go by, you just really miss him.
A few people said they found Chief on Saturday, wandering alone at East Lynn Lake in Wayne County, West Virginia – that’s nearly a seven-hour drive from its home.Workers at the shelter were able to find Hillis’s contact information, thanks to a microchip she had put in Chief.“I can’t believe this,” Hillis said. “This is insane. Every time I’d talk about that day, I’d get chill bumps.”“He’s just a big baby,” Boone said.
Hillis said she expects she’ll become very emotional when she gets to hold her dog again, and she’s praying it remembers her. Hillis said they’re still ironing out the details of how Chief will get back home. She said someone from the shelter has offered to drive halfway there to her friend’s house, which might happen this week.
“If I think about my dog missing that long, it makes me want to cry,” Boone said. “I already want to cry for her.”
