ESPAÑOLA, New Mexico (KOAT) — A dog who was missing for seven years is now back with his family in northern New Mexico, thanks to his microchip.
Espanola Humane says a good Samaritan brought the dog to the shelter.
Staff scanned the pup for a microchip, which was still active and up to date.
They learned his name was Bentley and that he had been missing for seven years.
The shelter then called the family, and they rushed to rescue him.
The moment Bentley saw them, he ran into their arms, climbed into their laps, and covered them in kisses as his mom, Erica, burst into tears.
Espanola Humane says this is a great reminder about the importance of microchips and keeping your information up to date.
