AUSTIN, Texas – A woman in Austin has been reunited with her furry, four-legged friend after he had been missing for eight years.

A good Samaritan found Dibs and brought him to the Austin Animal Center.

Staff at the facility scanned Dibs and found information on his microchip which allowed them to contact his owner, who said that Dibs had been missing for eight years and is now 14 years old.

The Austin Animal Center wants to remind the public that such an emotional reunion was possible only because Dibs had a microchip. The Center offers microchips at no cost every day of the week and no appointment is necessary.
