We just reunited this sweet dog (pictured in the attachments) with a very nice Long Beach couple (Tuesday afternoon, March 27, 2012) ... dog had been missing for four months ...
It got out of their Long Beach home ... Never to be found again until today ... The couple suspect that someone ignored missing-pet fliers in the neighborhood because Gizmo was too cute ....
The couple, Gloria and Rodolfo Alvarez, were truly overwhelmed with joy when we called them earlier this morning.
Dog's name: Gizmo ... Breed: Shih Tzu ... He is about 8 years old.
He was brought to our Western Riverside County/City Animal Shelter in Jurupa Valley today by a man who said he got it from a firend of a friend ... Man said it was a "stray" ... but called the dog "Benji" ... Dog had a microchip and that's how we tracked down true owners ... We called Mr. and Mrs. Alvarez of Long Beach and the couple immediately headed east on Highway 91 ....
The dog is pictured with a tearful Gloria Alvarez ... Sweet little guy!
"Every day we would drive around our neighborhood looking for him," Gloria Alvarez said. "We put up fliers. We put his picture all over the Internet and everything. We figured we would never see him again."
Even though it had been more than four months since Gizmo went missing, she said she still held out some hope, all because she said she knew that the family pet was microchipped. "With that chip, we got our dog back," Gloria Alvarez said.
