Losing a loved one is a pain that only someone who has gone through it would understand, and though many people fail to believe it, the pain is as intense even when you lose a pet. A pet is considered part of the family, so when one day it goes missing, that loss is heavy. This is why Farid had to travel more than 310 miles to reunite with his puppy, who had gone missing eight months before. Here’s what happened to them.
Bandit vanishes from his home in France.
A Malinois Shepherd named Bandit resided in Côte d’Or with his owner Farid. The two lived peacefully and happily until one day, the one-year-old puppy vanished and nobody knew where he had gone. Despite frantic efforts to search for him, he was nowhere to be found. Farid struggled through the months, trying to find his dog across France, to no avail.
A lost dog is spotted 310 miles away from home.
Eight months after the incident, when there seemed to be no hope of finding Bandit, Farid received a call informing him that his pup had been spotted around 310 miles from home. Luckily, the dog was microchipped and the good Samaritan who found Bandit used this device to reach the lost dog’s owner. It did not matter how far away the dog had gone, Farid traveled to meet him. He was relieved that after so many months, he had finally received good news about Bandit.
A family reunion
It was a sight to behold when Farid and Bandit finally met after many frustrating months. The duo embraced, and from the look on their faces, it was evident that they were happy to be reunited. The pet owner was grateful to everyone who had participated in bringing his pup back home. He also stressed the need to microchip pets, as it helps to locate them when they get separated from their loved ones.
The video of their reunion shows how overwhelmed and happy they were to find each other. They could not keep away from each other. The video confirmed that persistence, love, and determination can break all barriers.
Conclusion
Had Farid given up, Bandit would probably have fallen into the hands of inhumane people or even wild animals. The concern of a good Samaritan, Farid’s unwavering determination to find his pet, and Bandit’s microchip all contributed to finding the lost puppy. The story proves that humans can create a bond so strong with their pets that neither distance nor challenging circumstances can separate them.
