Great Reunion Story!


I was a "stray" picked up by Cobb County Animal Control on March 4 near Pope High School. The County was pretty sure they knew who my grandmom was and called her, but she doesn' speak English so well and didn't understand. So, off I went to the shelter and then to an AGA foster home where they started calling me "Dempsey." Whatever.
Cobb County gave AGA my grandmother's name and telephone number and they tried to reach her but she did not return the call. A few weeks later AGA received an email from a young girl named Sally who said her dog, Toby (ME!!!!), had been missing from her mother's home since March 4. She described me to a tee. AGA realized that their orphan Dempsey was really Sally's Toby (ME!!!!). My mom is living in Seattle and that's why I've been staying with her mom.
AGA found out that my mom Sally had been looking everywhere for me - putting ads on Craigslist and had called all the shelters. The shelters told her that Goldens get turned over to AGA and that is how I was found. Lemme tell you, when AGA picked me up from my foster mom's house and drove me home, it was one of the happiest days of my life! My grandmom started to cry she was so happy.
AGA thinks that one of the best parts of this story is finding out that I'm 14 1/2 years old. They thought I was much younger (ahem, thank you). And they loved finding out that I had been on a strict diet of Tofu, soy sauce and brown rice my entire life! It was good to get back to my usual food, but I didn't really mind those Milkbone treats and rawhides too much.
That's my story. AGA is the best. Who knows what would have happened to me if they weren't there? THANK YOU.
