HERRIMAN, Utah After two years waiting, a Herriman woman is reunited with her lost dog.
Melissa Alexander was living in West Jordan when her beloved Silky Terrier went missing. Alexander exhausted her search efforts looking for Barkley when he went missing. She later moved to Herriman and after a few years past she decided to adopt another dog.
When Alexander logged on to the Salt Lake County Animal Services web site she spotted her long lost Barkley.
Barkley was brought to the shelter as a stray. Melissa says she knew immediately it was her dog and their reunion proved it.
"The first thing he did was he just kind of came up rolled over on his belly right by my feet and just was lickey and happy and just excited and it was neat to get him back," said Alexander. "I guess he just needed me as bad as I needed him, maybe it was meant to be."
Melissa says Barkley is now microchipped and wears three ID tags.
Animal control officers say they can't recall such a reunion that resulted from such a long span of time.
