A South Australian dog owner has actually been reunited with their family pet after 2 years.
Three-year-old Lucy the kelpie was discovered alone on the borders of Port Augusta a couple of weeks ago with a deep injury in her back.
The RSPCA took her to the veterinarian in Adelaide for treatment for the cut that was so deep her microchip showed up.
RSPCA inspector Stuart Thomas stated the microchip was the essential to opening Lucy’s past.
” When we looked online at the registration we discovered that the dog’s status was completely lost,” Thomas stated.
The canine went missing out on from Dale Cooper’s backyard 2 years back.
Totally recuperated, Lucy left the residential area of Lonsdale today as a front-seat traveler with Thomas.
” I would have enjoyed to have actually been a fly on the wall for Lucy’s experiences over the last number of years,” he stated.
The set struck the roadway with a rest stop in Port Pirie on a nearly four-hour journey into Cooper’s arms.
Lucy’s tail wagged with pleasure as she had a cuddle with her owner that was 2 years in the making.
” We simply didn’t believe we ‘d ever see her once again,” Cooper stated.
” The kids were sobbing and desired their dog back and simply could not discover her.”
Lucy will never ever have the ability to inform how she’s invested the previous 2 years or how she ended up being so severely injured.
” Possibly she might have got captured under a fence which might have opened the injury on her back, however I think we’ll never ever understand,” Thomas stated.
The reunion would not have actually been possible if Lucy wasn’t microchipped.
” Lucy’s an extremely sweet dog. We would have had no concern rehoming her however there is definitely no chance we would not have actually gotten her back to her previous owners,” Thomas stated.
Cooper’s suggestions to family pet owners after his reunion with Lucy is to microchip “every dog you have actually got”.
