A dog lost for nearly six years was finally reunited with his owner at the Denver Dumb Friends League on Tuesday.

William Kemp with Rufus

Rufus, an 8-year-old Alaskan Malamute mix, was scanned for a microchip when the dog was brought in the the animal shelter.

The person who brought Rufus in said the dog appeared to have been abandoned, according to a release from the Dumb Friends League.

The chip made it possible to reunite Rufus with his family.

William Kemp came to get Rufus on Wednesday.

Kemp's experience shows the importance of providing your pet with a microchip, the shelter added.
