Most of us treat our pets like family members, and when we lose them suddenly, it hurts and makes us feel empty. In September of last year, an 8-year-old Akita dog was stolen from the front garden of Delon Pearson’s house. The sudden death of his beloved dog hurt him and his son very much. But after a year, Delon looked for his dog online and found him.

Delon Pearson, who was 29 and from Liverpool, was very upset and sad when his dog was stolen. After being sad for a long time, he started to think about getting a new dog. One day, he was surfing the web when he saw his dog, Missy, on the website of Skylor’s Animal Rescue in Dobshill, Flintshire, North Wales.

“It was crazy that we had been looking for her for so long without any luck, but when we did a search on Google after almost a year, we found her. We checked the result several times, even enlarging the photo, and to our surprise, it was our beloved dog, “Delon said.

A few months earlier, Missy’s kidnappers had left her tied up at a car wash in Manchester. This is where the animal rescue group found her. She was cared for well and fostered until she found a new home. She had a microchip at that time, so it was impossible to find her original owners.

Delon called Skylor’s Animal Rescue right away, and after the checks were done, he was told he could take Missy home the next day. He was happy to see his beloved dog again, but he didn’t want to tell his 8-year-old son Bradley, who had grown up with the Akita, right away.

The next day, they drove to Flintshire to find the Akita. The rest of the story sounds like a scene from a movie with a happy ending. Even though Delon was told it might take some time for Missy to adjust, Akita recognized her best friend Bradley and acted as if nothing had happened. She sat next to him with her tail wagging, and since they got home, she hasn’t left Bradley’s side.
