Denver Dog Lost For Seven Years Found In Atlanta

This is one of those great stories you look forward too. A shih tzu lost seven years ago named Jordan was located by animal control in Atlanta and they reunited him with his owner in Denver. (Tissue Alert)

A Shih Tsu puppy that went missing from his Denver home more than seven years ago is back home after getting picked up as a stray seven years later -- and 1,400 miles away — in Atlanta. Mike Nuanes said he and his wife returned from a neighborhood visit and discovered their puppy was gone. They never knew what happened but suspected a dognapping.

Nuanes said his "jaw hit the ground" when he got the call from the Fulton County Animal Shelter in Atlanta, asking if the microchipped dog named Jordan was his. "He was in pretty bad shape," shelter worker Jill Davis said. She said he was flea-bitten and emaciated and weighed half of what he should have. Nuanes bought a plane ticket and showed up days later to claim his pet.

The heartwarming reunion was captured on a video posted to the shelter’s Facebook page. Or click below.
