Dog reunited with Laredo owners nearly 10 years later

After losing their pet, one local family has finally found their loved one close to a decade later.

Following nine and a half years of being without their dog, a family received a call by a local veterinary clinic that shared the surprising news that their dog had been found. A Good Samaritan saw the animal and took her to the vet’s office to see if it had a rightful owner.

The schnauzer named Rocky was discovered running loose on McPherson. As it appeared to not have had a haircut for a long time, the individual brought it to Criter Care Veterinary Clinic. Once there, they scanned for a microchip and found one, as records showed the original owners of the dog.

Dr. Sandra Leyendecker said they called the dog’s owner after they confirming its identity, and the owner -- Lizette Edwards -- went to the veterinarian clinic and was stunned to see Rocky. The veterinarian confirmed with the owner that the dog was theirs by looking at pictures that the family took long ago.
