    <p>Even if life takes you in different directions for years, reuniting brings back the feeling like no time has passed.</p>

    <p>This remarkable bond occurred between two dogs who, after a period of separation, were joyfully reunited, <strong>thanks to the amazing determination of a devoted dog lover</strong>.</p>

    <p>When Derrick Schmidt and his fiancée decided to cohabitate, <strong>they felt ready to welcome a dog into their lives</strong>.</p>

    <p>While browsing a shelter site, Derrick’s fiancée came across an adorable photo of a puppy named Dexter. <strong>The couple instantly fell in love and chose to meet him</strong>.</p>

    <p><em>“We went to the shelter, and he immediately sat beside me in his cage, looking up at me. I turned to my fiancée and said, ‘He's ours,’”</em> Derrick recounted to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsiFnJxPiik" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-lasso-id="912435">GeoBeats</a>.</p>

    <p>After some time enjoying life with his new family, <strong>Dexter's favorite activity became playing in the backyard</strong>.</p>

    <p>During his play sessions, a stray dog would often join the fun.</p>

    <p>Though <strong>Derrick initially had reservations about letting a stray dog play with Dexter</strong>, he couldn't help but say yes when he saw their happiness.</p>

    <p><em>“When they first met, they instantly started playing like old friends. He always came by to check on us while I was doing yard work,”</em> he remarked.</p>

    <p>One day, Derrick noticed animal control in the area and realized that since the stray dog didn’t have a collar, <strong>he was at risk of being taken away</strong>.</p>

    <p>Opting to shelter the dog in his garage, <strong>Derrick discovered that the dog's original owners lived just two houses down.</strong></p>

    <blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
        <p><em>“I knocked on their door and said, ‘Animal Control was here. I put a collar on him so he wouldn’t get picked up. Please keep the collar on or he’ll get taken away.’ The next day, however, I saw him running without a collar, and soon he was gone,”</em> Derrick shared.</p>
    </blockquote>

    <p>Even though he was told it was not his dog and it wasn’t his concern, <strong>Derrick was resolved to locate the little stray.</strong></p>

    <p>After calling many shelters and visiting them, he finally found him, trembling in a kennel.</p>
