Texas Family Reunite With Their Dog Missing For Over 3 Years

When the Smith family’s two pit bulls went missing in July 2020, they were living in Little Rock, Arkansas. Following Jack and Jill’s disappearance, the family attempted to locate their beloved canines but were unable, according to USA TODAY. Their dogs’ disappearance is claimed to have had an impact on their then-5-year-old daughter, who had formed a special attachment with them.

Despite the fact that the family eventually relocated to McKinney, Texas, shelters contacted them and sent images of dogs to confirm if they were their lost pets.

After three years, the Smiths finally got a break when one of their missing pet dogs’ microchip let them reunite with her. The family stated that they did not expect Jill to be found and returned to them using the microchip, despite being aware of such incidents.

After the Little Rock Animal Village phoned Rex Smith in July to inform him that their missing dog had been recovered, the Smiths were reunited with Jill. Britnee Smith also expressed concern that Jill had forgotten about them or had become aggressive as they approached her. However, it was discovered that she had not changed.

“It’s like she never left us,” Britnee said “We picked up right off when she left three years ago. She came right into our arms.”

Jill was found not too far from the Smiths’ former home, though they said they could not tell what happened to her during her disappearance, USA TODAY reported. “We wish she could talk,” Rex said. “We have so many questions and we just want to ask her ‘Take us from the beginning, what happened?’”

Jill’s health was said to be OK when she was found, though she had a few scratches and scrapes. The Smiths also said they are still trying to find Jack and hope he may come around the area Jill was located.

“If we’ve said it once, we’ve said it a thousand times… microchips save lives!!!”  the Little Rock Animal Village wrote in a Facebook post alongside a photo of the Smiths and Jill. “This family just drove all the way from Texas to be reunited with their beloved Jill at the Little Rock Animal Village. Jill went missing TWO YEARS AGO. This reunion would not have happened had she not been microchipped.”

The animal village also encouraged owners to microchip and register their pets.
