Dog Missing for 5 Years Reunites with Family After Being Found 600 Miles Away
A Facebook post from an Indiana shelter led to Chong’s return after he was microchipped by someone else in Lincoln and held for adoption.
- After five years, Inmaculada Jackman reunited with her dog, Chong, when the pet was discovered behind a Loves Truckstop in Pittsboro, Indiana, about 642 miles from their home in Lincoln, Nebraska.
- A friend alerted Jackman to a Facebook post from the Hendricks County Animal Shelter, which revealed Chong had been microchipped by someone else in Lincoln after his 2021 escape.
- Because the dog was registered to another owner, the shelter followed protocol, waiting three days for a response before making him available; Jackman had continued searching for him for years.
- Jackman and Chong's brother, Che Che, traveled to Indiana to retrieve the pet, and shelter staff wrote, "He recognized not only his owner, but his brother as well."
- The family is now back in Lincoln, Nebraska, and reflecting on the long separation, Jackman urged others to "never lose hope" while searching for missing pets.
