Samson is Found !

22 comments

Well, it was a long weekend! Sunday, I scoured the neighborhood, I made posters, I talked to neighbors, I cried, I prayed, I worried. On Monday, I called the pound. No, they didn't have any dogs that looked like my dog or they hadn't picked up any dogs in my community over the weekend. I went to church and I prayed a selfish prayer. If it be your will Lord, take care of my crippled handicapped dog. On Tuesday, I went to the Animal Shelter and I looked at every dog there. Samson wasn't there. I printed a picture of him and took it back to the pound. At approximately, 4:00 pm, I received a phone call from my son, Jonathan! Mama, we found Samson! My heart stopped. Is he ok? Yes, Mama, the lady called,he was near the Junction store, Dad has gone to pick him up! I was elated! I was telling my co-workers! They found Samson! What? I had kept the news to myself all week that he had been missing. Well, great! I couldn't wait to get home! My husband called. Your dog is on the porch! Right where he belongs. When I got home, no apology for worrying me, nothing, just lots of licks and glad to be home! Well, I am happy and I am glad he was found and I am thankful that I had an ID tag on me and a nice person called when they found my dog. I also thank everyone on this site for their prayers and support through my time of need! God bless you all!

This is great news! I am really happy for you.

I'm very happy that you found your beloved dog, too many pets are not being found or worse being given up by there owners.

YIPPEE.....he is home....i am so glad that he is safe and sound.

Hooray!!!!!! I am so glad that he is at home, safe and sound!

I know too well the pain and helplessness of a lost pet. I was very glad to read that your dog was found safe and sound! Thank goodness you did have a collar and ID tag. Microchipping if you haven't done so already might be a great idea for a backup plan.

I am going to ask the vet to microchip him the next time I take him to the vet! Every time I take one of my dogs in from now on, I am going to have them microchipped until I get them all four done!

Glad to hear it!!!!

What a relief! ID tags are good, but consider also microchipping!

Very glad your baby is home safe and sound.

What a wonderful happy ending! All of us at zootoo were keeping you, and Samson, in our thoughts and hearts. Thank your for sharing the great news.

Eek! I just posted on your "Sampson is lost" post...how wonderful to hear he has been found... sorry you and he had to go through a hard several days!

Make sure to give the whole zoo some extra love so no-one feels left out and decides to do something stupid!

That is GREAT! Do you have a fenced yard? Maybe he could be an inside dog (the only kind I believe in actually) :~) I am happy for you and know how much you love that Samson. I also think your prayers were heard and they were not selfish. YEA!!~!!!! :~)

YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH! I know you are relieved and so lucky to have your guy back. I hope he's learned not to stray and will not give you a fright again. Take care and God Bless.

Thank you for your reply and wishes! God bless you and your zoo too!

I'm so happy for you...I'm crying! My cat, Gabe is missing this morning. He's an INDOOR-ONLY cat, so I'm beside myself. Gotta run...I'm busy making posters and sending out e-mails with his picture. Just wanted to quickly say I'm very glad you've got your dog back. Much love, ~Cecelia~
