Binky’s family lived 6 hours from Dorchester Paws, however the dedicated staff declined to let that obstruct of their reunion. Without avoiding a beat, among Binky’s caretakers filled him into their truck and drove him back home.

Binky’s family began sobbing as quickly as they saw their small, resistant puppy at their door.

“It took him a moment to realize who was holding him,” Howard said. “He started to sniff the air and then get excited — he knew it was his family!”

Binky’s enjoyment was palpable. The caring dog gladly lapped everybody’s tears of relief with even wetter kisses. Finally, he was home.
