When Binky went missing, he was already 15 years old. His family was deeply concerned for his wellbeing. At that time, they were in the process of relocating to a new home. They halted everything and began a thorough search for their cherished pup.
Binky had a microchip, and his family clung to the hope that someone would find him and contact them. They postponed their move for as long as possible, but in the end, they had to proceed with their plans.
Three years flew by, and the family had given up hope of ever reuniting with their beloved Binky.
As they attempted to move forward with their lives without him, they were blissfully unaware that heartwarming news was just around the corner.
Binky Returns
A compassionate individual discovered Binky wandering the streets in a distressing condition in Summerville, South Carolina. They promptly contacted Dorchester Paws for assistance.
“His fur was so tangled, especially around his eyes, making it tough to discern if he even had eyes. His nails had grown long and curled, he had a terrible odor, and his teeth were decayed,” stated April Howard, director of Dorchester Paws, to The Dodo.
The team quickly transported him to a veterinary clinic.
The veterinary team carefully shaved away his knotted fur, allowing the relieved pup to finally see again.
The veterinarian immediately began administering pain relief treatments. The affectionate dog showed remarkable bravery and communicated to his caregivers that he was feeling better. He was incredibly friendly and captivated everyone’s hearts with his charming nature.
Once Binky was pampered and groomed, the vets scanned him for a microchip. They were ecstatic to discover that this sweet pup had loving owners.
Without delay, they reached out to Binky’s family with the joyous news.
The Family Receives the Unexpected Call
When Binky’s family learned that their beloved companion had been found, they were in utter disbelief.
“The family was astonished. They exclaimed, ‘Are you certain it’s Mr. B.?’” Binky was already a senior when they adopted him, making them doubt they would ever see him again,” Howard explained.
It was astonishing that fragile Binky had managed to survive as a stray for such a lengthy period.
However, the most surprising aspect of Binky’s return was that he was located far from his original home in Georgia.
The Long-Awaited Reunion
The shelter personnel were ecstatic and eagerly anticipated the moment when Binky would be reunited with his family. Binky’s parents were anxiously waiting to embrace him once more.
Despite the six-hour distance from the shelter to their home, the staff quickly loaded him into the car and headed home.
When Binky’s parents laid eyes on their adorable pup, they were overwhelmed with emotion, tears streaming down their faces as they gently cradled him in their arms.
Even though the pup was mostly blind and deaf, he could not see his family’s loving faces or hear their voices.
However, when he caught their scent for the first time in three years, Binky instantly understood that he had returned home. He melted into his mother’s warm embrace, unable to stop smiling. He was filled with joy to be back.
Though Binky couldn’t visually recognize his parents, he felt enveloped by their love. He had missed them dearly throughout the years, and they beamed with joy as Binky covered them with affectionate little kisses.
Binky’s family showered him with affection and ensured he felt their deep love. Binky was delighted to receive so much adoration from them.
Regrettably, shortly after returning home, Binky’s health began to decline.
His family remained devotedly by his side, gently petting him and constantly expressing their love for him. They held him close as he peacefully crossed over the rainbow bridge.
Binky’s family will continue to cherish him and will never forget his presence. They wish they could have had more time together, but they take comfort in knowing that their beloved Binky came home and spent his last days enveloped in boundless love.
