SEDGWICK COUNTY — Law enforcement reported some good news for a Kansas dog owner.
On October 28, employees with Sedgwick County Animal Control brought in a stray Boston Terrier, according to police department officer Paul Cruz.
The dog was scanned and determined it had a micro-chip. Police learned someone stole the dog from the owner in July of 2013.
After some computer research, police tracked down the dog’s owner. They contacted the owner to tell her the dog was at the animal shelter. “She was shocked and excited, according to Cruz. The woman quickly came to get Missy who was in good health other than having an eye surgically removed.
Cruz said, “This is a prime example of how important it is to micro-chip pets.”
Police did not release details on how the dog was stolen in 2013.
