Amy’s Beloved Pooch Mysteriously Disappears – 9 Years Later, She Sees A Startling Facebook Message

Amy Baca just loved her adorable little pup, Brownie.

These two had one of those very special human/animal friendships that are inexplicable and timeless. They were inseparable.

So, you can imagine Amy’s grief when one day, she lost poor Brownie. Her beautiful shih tzu disappeared and though Amy looked high and low, Brownie was nowhere to be found.

It was just one of those freak accidents, too: the door opened one day and Brownie sprinted outside, never to be seen again.

It was such a mystery. Why would she disappear like that? How could she get out of sight so quickly? Had she met with an unfortunate accident?

But Amy couldn’t answer any of these questions because her best friend in the world was gone, and she was too devastated to wonder.

We suffered a lot,” she told 12News. “We would look for him day and night.

The distraught owner tried to move on. She tried to forget about Brownie but no matter how hard she tried, she could never quite put the little pooch out of her mind completely.

She asked for help with a heartfelt message:

But sadly, no dice. Nine long years passed. Then the most incredible thing happened…

Brownie was discovered sitting in a tattoo parlor, and a woman by the name of Kathy Hamel of Arizona Shih Tzu & Small Breed Rescue picked him up.

Hamel noted the old age and infirmity of the poor pup:

He can’t even make it in my home, from one room to another, without a great deal of difficulty …  So, he could not have come from the distance of the nearest housing.

Someone had to have left him there. It’s amazing he wasn’t coyote food.

Then Hamel realized that the elderly pup had a microchip, and it contained the owner’s information. Amy Baca!

So, with the help of Facebook, Hamel tracked down Amy and sent her a private message, which read:

Does Brownie ring any bells?

Amy couldn’t believe it.

This lady asked me if I was missing a dog, and she showed me a picture of Brownie, how he looks now.

And I was like, ‘That looks like my dog.

Yes, it was indeed Brownie and thanks to Kathy Hamel, Amy was finally reunited with her long-lost best friend, who is now 15 years old!

Amy has difficulty describing her emotions:

I never thought I was going to ever see him ever again…it’s incredible … I’m just overwhelmed … mixed emotions… I just can’t believe it still.

She isn’t sure how much longer Brownie will live but he’s home, where he belongs, and he will be loved until the moment he passes on.

And there’s no greater gift than that. 🙂
