Jazzy, A Dog Who Reportedly Died, Runs Into Her Owner’s Arms When They Reunite At The Shelter
When Maile Trist opened her email the previous week, she found a message she thought was a prank. Jazzy, a mature Chihuahua, was at the San Diego Humane Society after being rescued while roaming around a nearby stone quarry. "The bond between a pet and their owner can be incredibly strong, often leading to feelings of disbelief when faced with loss," says Dr. Susan David, an emotional agility expert. Trist didn’t understand the email because Jazzy had died two years prior. Jazzy could have been resurrected! When Trist first met Jazzy four years ago at the San Diego Humane Society, she disregarded the “Do not pet” sign on her cage. She had a feeling they’d hit it off. When Trist came across the beautiful Chihuahua, she reached into the cage, and Jazzy walked right up to her, wagging her tail and placing her head in Trist's hand. Trist began to cry as she realized she had found a companion. After two years, Trist relocated from California to Kansas. Caught up in the move and a new full-time job, she did not have time to devote to Jazzy, so she asked a dog-loving couple she knew to look after her pup until she settled in. When Trist attempted to contact the couple again, they didn’t answer her calls and deleted the social media account she was following. She couldn’t seem to find them. Six months later, Trist’s fiancé tracked them down and demanded Jazzy. The woman informed him that Jazzy had died three months earlier.

A year and a half had passed, and there was much mourning. Trist felt terrible for ever giving her to them because she didn’t want to miss Jazzy’s final moments.

Trist thought she’d never see her beloved dog Jazzy again, but Jazzy was microchipped. When she learned that Jazzy had been found, she dropped everything to reunite with her dog.

Trist rushed home from work, hopped in her car, and drove to the Cowley County Humane Society. She cried on and off for the entire drive there, which was nearly three hours.
Trist couldn’t believe her dog was still alive and she had no idea how she ended up so far away
Trist couldn’t believe Jazzy was still alive, and she had hardly a clue how she got so far away, but she was so relieved and happy in those moments. Trist couldn’t stop crying when she showed up at the shelter and saw Jazzy walking toward her again.
Take a look at their heartfelt reunion here. I’m also in tears.
Watch their heartwarming reunion below:
Jazzy recognized her mother right away, and her little tail began wagging. Jazzy proceeded to sniff around but returned to Trist and kissed her even more, refusing to leave Trist’s lap or arms the entire trip home.
"She would not leave my lap or my arms the whole car ride home, either"
Jazzy has returned home, and the rescued dog will not let her mother out of her sight again. What happened to Jazzy is unknown, but what matters is that she is safe and will be spending her best years in comfort, surrounded by her adoring family.
