Neighbor Gives Sick Veteran's Dog Away - Their Joyous Reunion Weeks Later Will Warm Your Heart

Nov 27, 2018 by apost team

Dogs and humans have lived side-by-side for centuries. People have always been drawn to adorable dogs as domestic animals and vice versa. Dogs are loyal animals. They fight alongside us during wars, protect us from unwanted intruders, help those who are disabled, and give emotional support to those who need it. We do everything we can to provide them with love and comfort.

One of the most popular reasons that humans take in dogs is for companionship. So if we get separated from them, it is natural to feel upset and lonely. Larry Peteet knew this from first-hand experience. When Larry went through a horrific car accident, he had to jump through hoops to get his Labrador retriever, Sandy, back home. It wasn’t an easy process at all.

Larry is an air force veteran from Florida who was in a car accident that ended with a hospital stay of three days. While he was in the ICU, he was asked what should be done with his 8-year-old support animal, Sandy. Larry gave the name of a neighbor who could watch her, who later assured him that Sandy was okay.

Imagine how upset and shocked Larry was to find out that his neighbor did not have Sandy. He was told that his beloved support dog was at the Pasco County Animal Services. However, she wasn’t, so Larry went off to the Pet Rescue Center to keep looking.

She wasn’t there, either. He started turning to shelters to find his precious dog, to no avail. Larry was starting to get desperate. However, his dog meant everything to him - he wasn’t giving up just yet.

Finally, Larry was informed that another neighbor had been given Sandy after the first neighbor wouldn’t take care of her. That neighbor then gave Sandy to someone they met at a dog park. It took a pet detective to finally track down the person who actually had his canine companion.

After 22 harrowing days, Larry finally heard from the person who had his dog. He claimed that he thought Sandy had been abandoned and decided to take care of her. Luckily, his boss urged him to get in contact with Larry.

The reunion video below will bring tears to your eyes. What a wonderful and emotional time for both of them!
