A Dog Who Vanished 7 Years Ago Has Reappeared

This is Sammy. Seven years ago he was a bright eyed, bushy-tailed pup. And then one day he vanished from the front garden without a trace. He was six months old.

No one knew where Sammy had gone; he was loved by all the neighbors. His parents Nikki and Simon put flyers up everywhere and searched for him endlessly. They assumed that someone driving by decided to pick him up and take him home. They were heartbroken. But Sammy was still out there.

In the last seven years Nikki and Simon have adopted another Border Collie, to deal with the pain of losing Sammy. And then one day they got a call from a local animal rescue. Sammy had been found.

But the Sammy that had been found was deeply changed. He was covered in injuries and looked very much worse for wear.

No one knows what's happened to Sammy in the past decade or so. He's blind in one eye and mostly deaf, but he's back where he belongs.

Sammy and Billy get along very well, and Sammy is adjusting well to his new (old) home and family.

We're all so happy you're back, Sammy.
