Imagine the shock when the American Kennel Club reaches out to you seven years after the dog you loved was stolen….

That’s what happened to Kelly Accettola this week, when the San Diego woman was reunited with Bemis at the Wilkinson Animal Hospital in Gastonia, NC. Thanks to the microchip she’d ensured he had, Bemis, who was found in NC after going missing back in 2011, is back in his “old” mama’s arms.

Accettola flew all the way from the west coast to get him back.
