An Alabama family reunited with Leroy after nearly two years!
The Elleard family dog named Leroy ran away nearly two years ago. The family said he slipped out their back door the previous May.
reports the family thought Leroy was gone for good after not finding him ever since, but now he’s back home, thanks to an animal control officer and a microchip.“There were a lot of nights putting the kids to bed, telling them it’s going to be OK,” Robert Elleard said. “But now he [Leroy] is here and it’s so unexpected. It’s like a dream.”
On Monday, Daphne animal control officer Jessie Payne said he responded to a call regarding two stray dogs in someone’s backyard.Payne said he took both dogs to the shelter and found that Leroy was microchipped. “It played a huge role,” Payne said. “I never would have known who he was or where he came from without the microchip or the fact he was missing.”“I got a call, and I heard, ‘This is officer Payne, did you lose a dog?’” Karen Elleard said. “And I just couldn’t believe it.”Officer Payne said it was an unbelievable reunion.Animal control officers said Leroy’s traveling partner has since been named Sherlock. He was not microchipped but will soon be up for adoption if his owner doesn’t come forward.
“We really don’t know how long they traveled together, I know Sherlock is a little older than Leroy, but we’ll see,” Karen Elleard said.The family thanked the community for being so invested in finding Leroy and recommended everyone get their pets microchipped.
