Pet Lover Drives 1,050 Miles For Lost Dog
A Georgia man didn’t hesitate to make the 1,050-mile drive when he heard his beloved pet had been found eight months later.
Charles Nugget, a 4-year-old chow mix ran away last summer when his owner John Withers, a truck driver, was making a delivery in Lena. Since then plenty of people spotted “a brown dog in a red collar,” and many left out food for it but no one could catch the dog.
Withers got a phone call from Judy Fuller, the animal control officer in Little Suamico. She told him that, local folks were sure Nugget was the dog that had been hanging around town lately but nobody could get close to it.
So Withers made the drive, bringing Moose Edward, his a 55-pound lab shepherd mix and atlast could spotted his poor Nugget on thursday, lying motionless under a parked truck.
“I didn’t cry, but I was very, very happy,” Withers said of his reunion with Nugget.
