A Las Vegas woman is reunited with her best friend thanks to a tiny piece of technology and two people with big hearts.
22-year-old Melissa Lopez lost 6-year-old Jezebel in a Pennsylvania forest over the Fourth of July. Melissa was confident she would get the golden retriever back because the dog had contact information implanted in a microchip.
Melissa said, "I didn't know where I was gonna be or where she was gonna be but I knew, one day, because of that chip I was gonna get my dog back. I did not give up or lose faith."
105 days after Jezebel got lost, Cheryl and Neal Mann in Pennsylvania found the emaciated dog. They found the microchip when they had her screened by a veterinarian and contacted Melissa.
After the Mann's spent a week nursing Jezebel back to health, Neil drove her from Pennsylvania to reunite with Melissa in Oklahoma because the retriever was too frail to fly.
The Mann's also lost a golden retriever who wasn't micro chipped. The one they have now, is protected just like Jezebel.
