Jacksonville.com: There were moments after Cynthia Abercrombie’s dog, Apollo, went missing last month that she feared he might not come home.
She put those fears to rest about 9 p.m. Friday when her Pyrenees mix, who was found 1,100 miles away from Jacksonville, came clambering out of a stranger’s car to greet her.
It had been six weeks since she saw him last, and she was grateful to everyone who played a role in making sure Apollo got home safe.
“It’s a big relief just having him back, knowing he’s OK,” an emotional Abercrombie said.
The dog, who she’s had since he was just 6 months old, escaped from his enclosure Aug. 11.
A month later Abercrombie was overjoyed when she got a call saying her dog had been found. But tears of joy gave way to stunned silence once she heard where — about an hour outside of Boston in Swansea, Mass.
I love stories like this. For years my family was hopeful we’d get Tripod, our 3-legged black cat, back. But after 28 years, I’ve had to accept that he is with my parents at Rainbow Bridge.
Easy explanation:
He was taking Summer classes at M.U.T.
Get your dog chipped.
I could not bear it if Angus was stolen.
I would burn down the hemisphere
Chipped yes, but clipping the nuts will keep him from the wonderlust.
