Don't know if anyone remembers but we lost our boxer in 2008 in Graham at the Classic golf course. I posted for months trying to find her.
I received a call from our vet on Wednesday that someone had contacted them about having our dog and they took her in and had her scanned for a chip which led them to our vet.
Unbelievable, missing for 3 years! Turns out the person that had her has had her almost the entire time.
They were moving and need to get rid of all their dogs so had her scanned for the chip.
I'm not sure how I feel about this person. I go back and forth between being angry that he had her nearly 3 years and never once had her scanned until he needed to get rid of her...then I am overjoyed that he did have her scanned and did not just dump her off somewhere.
The moral is chips work! If you have an animal please get them chipped.
If you have lost an animal do not give up hope...miracles happen!
Thank you to everyone that helped us search, sent encouraging emails and kept us in their thoughts!!

PS I have to share a story that was provided by comment where this story was shared. Unbelievable!
We had the same thing happen (months not years!) with a beagle, Jip, when I was a kid! The beagle snuck out of the fence when my Dad was taking the lawn mower to the front yard. Jip was fast and sneaky! We searched, and he had his collar... with tags on it, so we figured someone would call soon....but they never did. Then about 6 months later we got a call from a woman who DEMANDED we come get our dog IMMEDIATELY because he chewed something in her house. She admitted she thought he was cute and decided to keep him (despite the tags!), but he was such a chewer, after 6 months she had had enough and wanted to give him back.
