Anthony Rogers is an artist who has faced plenty of ups and downs in life. After some difficult circumstances, he ended up becoming homeless. Just at the time when his life seemed to be taking a turn for the worse, a loyal friend showed up on the scene and made a world of difference. That friend was none other than a loving dog by the name of Bobo.

Living on the streets near Memphis, Tennessee, isn't always easy. But thanks to his companion Bobo, who Rogers rescued from a drug house as a pup, Rogers no longer feels all alone in this world. In fact, Rogers told WMC that he credits his furry friend with saving him from a life of drugs. He's been drug-free for the past year, thanks, in large part, to Bobo's positive influence.

Imagine the shock and sorrow that filled Rogers when he discovered his beloved Bobo was missing one morning. Frantically, the homeless man began searching for his dog with the help of his friends. They put up pictures of Bobo throughout the surrounding neighborhoods hoping someone would spot Bobo. After several weeks it seemed as though the lost pooch would never be located.

Then, one day, out of the blue, Bobo turned up at the animal shelter in Memphis. Utopia Animal Hospital gave Bobo a microchip, vaccinations and neutered him. An employee at the shelter remembered seeing his picture posted around town. She decided to call the number on the poster and find out if the dog was indeed the one in the lost dog photos.

Rogers was overjoyed when he got the call. He quickly reassured the shelter employee that the dog in their care was Bobo. Then he scheduled a time to meet back up with his long lost furry friend.

The reunion, which was caught on video, is incredibly emotional. If you watch it, don't be surprised if you shed a few tears!

Bobo immediately started celebrating when Rogers appeared. He started jumping up to shower his loving owner with affection. His tail never stops wagging. Both Bobo and Rogers are thrilled to have the opportunity to be back together again.
