The Long Journey Home
My name is " Lucky," ( A Maltese Dog )
    This is my story!

When I was real little my Ma & Dad bought me from a pet shop. They gave me my name. They took care of me, and loved me, and I loved them also. I had a feline brother and sister, and we played alot. But, as I was growing up, I was always curious of what was outside the gate. I loved going for rides and seeing different stuff.

When I was 1 1/2 years old, my Dad was selling his boat. As he was moving the boat, out the gate, and didn't know that I got out of the house, I decided to go for a walk. I didn't know where I was going, I was just curious. After awhile I wanted to go back home, but I didn't know how.

Some people found me and took me in, but I still wanted to go back home.

What I didn't know was that my Ma & Dad were looking for me also. For months and months they put up posters, went to the dog pound, vet clinics and the humane society, but they couldn't find me. None of the people that found me would help me, to get back home.

Years have past. I am 5 1/2 years old now and still thinking of my Ma & Dad. I still hope that they are thinking of me!!! People have taken care of me but wouldn't help me get back home.

And then, after all this time some good people found me. They took me to a vet, because they loved me too. They told the vet that I was a found dog.

The vet asked them if they could do a microchip scan, because of my breed, and they said yes. After the scan they were informed that I have been missing for almost 4 years.

The vet called up my Ma & Dad and told them that I still was alive and wanted to know if they still wanted me back. THEY SAID YES!!

When my Ma & Dad picked me up the good people were sad, but happy at the same time that I finnaly found my way back home.

I found out after going home that I have a big sister now, that is a Doberman. My feline sister has died. My feline brother and I know each other still.

Also my Ma & Dad never forgot about me, during all of this time, they still love me!!! I am happy and content now. I'M BACK HOME!!!

My name is " Lucky " and I am lucky, I'm home.

Note: As pet owners and lovers of animals, get your pets microchiped, because this could happen to you at any time.    God Bless
