DETROIT – A Yorkshire Terrier was reunited with its family 6 years after it went missing out on from their Detroit lawn.
Ami Coleman said their dog, Flower Blossom, vanished in 2017.
Coleman said her 7-year-old child was ravaged.
They browsed and browsed, however when they didn’t discover the dog, they chose to bid farewell.
“We purchased a marker for her, we have it on the mantle, and it’s a little circle with a paw print on it and says ‘Gone, but not forgotten,’” said Coleman.
They always remembered Blossom, and Blossom always remembered them.
Six years later on, Coleman got a call from Romulus Animal Shelter notifying her they discovered her dog.
Blossom had a recognition chip, which is how the shelter got the family’s contact details.
“To have her back is nothing short of a miracle,” Coleman said. “Six years, and she was with someone, and I don’t know how long she had been on the street after that. It’s just a miracle that we got her back.”
Coleman chose to shock her now teenage child, Dallis, with the dog’s return.
Coleman and Dallis went to the shelter on Monday (May 1) and reunited with Blossom.
“They said we found your dog, and that’s when I started to break down and cry,” said Dallis, 13.
The family says Blossom acknowledged them right now.
“When she first saw us, her little tail started to wag so fast, and I was like, ‘She definitely remembers us,’” Dallis said.
Blossom’s fur was matted, and she had an eye infection, however her family is nursing her back to health.
The family hopes other family pet owners will see this story and select to have their dog broke for recognition functions.
