A Florida woman has been reunited with her dog after it went missing eight years ago!
Someone must have left a gate open at the Fort Myers home Louise Friedlander was visiting on Father's Day in 2009.
Tessa the Yorkshire Terrier, who had a microchip and a collar with her owner's information, disappeared.
Friedlander, of Naples, searched for hours and spent months placing newspaper ads and posting missing fliers.
Years passed. Nothing.
But on June 30, Friedlander's phone rang at 3 a.m. and an animal control officer told her Tessa had been found wandering outside a Cape Coral fire station, about 11 miles from Fort Myers Beach.
Five hours later, they were reunited at an animal shelter.
The dog wagged its tail when she saw Friedlander, who yelled, "Tessa, it's Mama!"
