There must be very few emotions worse than losing a pet in the world. There would, in my opinion, be no better sensation than to see that dog and be reunited with him. With their chocolate lab, one family experienced just this, and to make matters even more upsetting, it occurred after nearly five years.
The Humane Society of the United States discovered Chuckie when they were scanning the animals for microchips before to their raid on an Ohio home where 166 dogs and cats were being held captive. They matched him up with the Indiana family who had been missing their Labrador for five years.
Woman goes to say goodbye to gravely ill pregnant sheep – then finds miracle in the straw
Everyone who’s had the privilege of experiencing the miracle of birth knows that it can be messy and it doesn’t always follow a prescribed schedule.
Mixed into the excitement and joy, there’s always a twinge of anxiety in the air until it’s assured that the birth went well.
And that’s exactly how Amy Hill felt when her 10-year-old sheep Dotty was expecting lambs.
It’s not like there was a reason to think anything would go wrong—Dotty had given birth several times before and had always produced healthy offspring—but this time, everything would be different.
Sonwy River Farms in Nova Scotia, Canada raises animals without using genetically modified crops, and the animals are taken care of in a humane and ecologically friendly manner.
The farm has many animals, but Amy Hill has always held Dotty in special place in her heart, as she was Amy’s first female sheep.
