Almost two years after the devastating string of hurricanes ravaged New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, touching stories of survival and reuniting are still emerging:
MIAMI - A dog who went missing after Hurricane Wilma nearly two years ago was reunited with her family.
Chris Devilliers, 14, was so excited to see his 5-year-old dog, Bella, that he skipped his end-of-school party Wednesday.
Bella was found undernourished and anemic with white gums, said Lisa Yambrich, a Miami-Dade County Animal Control officer.
At an animal shelter, a scan with an identifying microchip was found on her. A few hours later, she was reunited with her family.
“It’s always exciting to have a dog reunited,” Yambrich said. “This is one of the better things I like about my job.”
One of the most important things that you can do for your pets, particularly dogs and cats, is to ensure that they have proper tagging and that they are identified with a microchip. After that, register them for free with The Found Bin and ensure your pet stays safe and happy.
