After spending 10 years apart, a Miami woman reunited with her 14-year-old cockapoo at an animal shelter in Tampa Bay.
The Humane Society of Tampa Bay announced on its social media page that owner Luisa and her family reunited with their long-lost pet, Cleo.
“REUNITED…..10 YEARS LATER,” the organization wrote.
The Humane Society said Cleo’s microchip led the team to Luisa, who they said was in disbelief when the shelter called because Cleo had run away a decade ago.
