Dog reunited with Jacksonville woman after disappearance, 1,100-mile journey home

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.

  1. 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.
