Man's Decision to Get a New Dog Leads Him to His Lost Dog Who Went Missing Over a Year Ago
Try to hold back your tears as you read about the story of this man's beautiful reunion with his dog. For a year and a half, Richard Brower's cherished German Shepherd, Dozer, had been taken from him, and Richard had eventually come to the conclusion that he must move on.
Richard is currently a resident of Alberta, Canada. He believed it was time to accept that his best friend was no longer with him, as tough as that decision was.
He began looking for a new puppy to adopt, but he had no idea that allowing himself to accept getting a new dog would actually end up being a miracle! Richard found a picture of Dozer staring back at him when he visited the Claresholm Rescue Society website to search for a new puppy.
“It was the first post that came up, and Dozer was just staring back at me, looking pretty much the same as he did 18 months ago,” Richard told CBC News. “And then my heart dropped, and I started shivering.”
He made a hasty call to the shelter's number and set up a visit with his father, who just happened to be nearby that day. As soon as Dozer met Richard's father, he went wild.
Richard, however, wanted to be sure, so he instructed his father to snap his fingers as soon as he spotted Dozer. Quickly, the dog took a seat at his father's right side.
Richard Brower’s Beloved German Shepherd, Dozer, Had Been Taken from Him for More Than a Year
Richard's decision to get another dog after spending a difficult 18 months searching for his stolen dog has brought him a miracle of a lifetime. Richard and his father started laughing, and at the same time, everyone else was ecstatic.
They hadn't seen each other in a very long time! Dozer's ordeal began 18 months ago when he was taken from Richard's gated yard.
Richard and his friends searched everywhere for Dozer after he vanished. In a field less than two hours from Richard's house, Dozer was found roaming.
His friendliness was noticed by a Good Samaritan, who then took him to the Claresholm Rescue Society. Dozer seemed to have been well taken care of during his absence; however, no one knows how he got there or who kidnapped him.
Dozer had been at the shelter for a month before Richard saw his picture. Dozer is now ten years old, according to Richard, and although he is upset that they have been apart for almost two years, he is also relieved to have his closest friend back.
Everyone was overcome with emotion as Dozer arrived home.
“When he returned home, it was wonderful. As soon as he came onto the block, his tail started wagging, and as soon as he pulled into the driveway, I opened the door, and he just jumped straight in and buried his head in my armpit, whining like a baby,” Richard told the Canadian broadcaster.
