Blind Dog Reunited With Owner Nearly 800 Miles From South Florida Home

A blind South Florida pup was reunited with his owner several states away after getting lost.

Rudy Torres flew to Huntersville, North Carolina, this weekend to be reunited with his Yorkie, Captain Jack.

Torres said the visually-impaired, 11-year-old dog went missing from his backyard and was snatched.

Lucky for Jack, Adela Diaz found him wandering a street — hundreds of miles from home.

Diaz took Jack to PetSmart to check for a microchip. Then she enlisted the help of her neighbor Maria to track down the Yorkie’s family.

Maria called an animal shelter in Fort Myers where the outdated chip was listed. An operator gave her the owner’s information, and she called him and asked if he was missing a dog.

Torres offered Maria and Diaz reward money, but they declined. Instead, Torres gave them pastries brought all the way from Florida.

Diaz and Maria said that, as animal lovers, they are thrilled that Captain Jack will go back to his family, where he belongs.
