A dog named Pakita was wandering the streets when she was found and brought to Argentina’s El Arca Animal Partido de Mar Chiquita by volunteers. The staff member scanned her for a microchip but they didn’t find any.
They fell in love with her instantly. She was a very good girl, but sadly, she was passed over and over by adopters who visited the shelter. They always chose younger dogs. Weeks goes by and Pakita became depressed and broken. She sat in her kennel day after day and lost all hope.
The volunteers did everything the could to find Pakita a forever home, but nothing happened. For some reason no one wanted her. As a last resort they used Facebook to promote her story but they couldn’t take her a picture. Pakita would cower in the corner unwilling to pose for a picture. FINALLY, they managed to take a decent picture. After they posted the picture on Facebook…
“Immediately, we get a message from a woman saying that the dog was her son’s and that he had been looking for her!” Ferreyra told The Dodo.
Ariel Naveira never thought he will see Pakita again, not after all this time, and had to accept that his dog was never coming home.
But when this mother saw the post on Facebook his immediately called him. He couldn’t believe it was her, his dog, his love, his friend.
He went to the shelter the next day and the volunteers brought Pakita out to see her dad. Ariel knew right away, but Pakita wasn’t sure. AS you can clearly see in the video she looks very hesitant…but as she sniffs around she realizes…
HER LOVING DAD IS HERE!! IS STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER!! AMAZING!!
Pakita almost faints and falls to the floor with excitement… It may have been two long years but she knew that smell, that face… It’s a dream come true!!
