#47 Well After 6 1/2 Years Missing, Bonnie Reunited With Her Beloved Family

Well something amazing happened here at Terrington yesterday
This beautiful little girl came into the practice and after a scan of her microchip and a check on the database by our receptionist, it was discovered that Bonnie had been missing for 6 1/2 years! Yes, six and a half years!!!
Well, suffice to say they were overcome with shock and emotion and found it hard to believe especially given the fact that she was found over 200 miles from their home!
They were overwhelmed and very emotional and guess what? It’s her 10th birthday on Sunday and she is going home on Saturday in time to celebrate.
They had never given up hope of finding her so please anybody with a missing pet please never ever give up looking!
