A California dog missing for more than a decade has been reunited with her owner after being found at a rural property.

The San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office received a call on Feb. 10 about a stray dog that appeared "old and unwell," according to a Facebook post.

When an officer scanned for a tracking chip, he found out that her name was Zoey and that she vanished in Lafayette, California, 12 years ago.

  1. This is the kind of world we’ve made for ourselves and our children, better have no enemies when the light goes out, due to the economic crisis and the rate of unemployment I think it’s the best time to invest for the future

    1. This is the kind of information we don’t get from most YouTubers I think 🤔 I will start my trade with Expert Charles Robert…

    1. Creio q vai levar tempo pra q ela consiga se certificar q essa foi a 1a Dona q teve… De quem fugiu ou de quem foi roubada!!?? Por sobre, com certeza, os últimos donos lhe fizeram muito mal… Afinal a cachorrinha, q está velhinha e parece doente… Recém foi abandonada e parece q no lixo!!!! Traumas sucessivos e graves!!!! Mas, enfim, teve a boa sorte: Vai ser amada e amparada, pra sempre!!!! 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

  2. So many humans discard those who are old so that they themselves don’t have to be faced & inconvenienced with the fact that we all die.

    Thankfully her original guardian happens to be a responsible human.

  3. The dog was probably never taken to the vet. Heartbreaking that who ever had the dog just dumped to the dog to starve and die alone
