Cloud Behind That Silver Lining

Maltese-7-years-family

In one of those great “Feel Good” stories this past weekend, local TV reported that a pretty little Maltese dog that had been missing for seven years had been found in Washington and was being flown home to Texas.  They promoted, and then  showed, the reunion at Bush Intercontinental airport when Dinah Miller of Tyler got the dog she calls Reese back.

The dog had been picked up on a road near Tacoma and identified by a microchip implanted before he disappeared near Dallas.

Now we learn that Reese has been living with the Davis family in Spanaway, Washington for almost the entire time he had been gone.  Shortly before moving to Washington, Kelli Davis adopted the dog they call Harley at a shelter in Mesquite where he was listed as an owner surrender.  They had been searching and putting up flyers when they learned Reese/Harley’s fate on the news. 

“Harley is my daughter’s best friend. That’s her little buddy. They do everything together,” said Davis,   “I don’t know what to do. We just lost a part of our family.”
