15-year-old Binky went missing during a family move, leaving his loved ones devastated.

Desperate to find him, they paused everything, searching tirelessly. Knowing he was microchipped, they clung to the hope someone would eventually find him.

However, after exhausting all options and being unable to delay their move any longer, they had to leave. As 3 years passed, the family feared they’d never hold their dear Binky again.

“His fur was so matted everywhere, especially on his eyes. It was hard to tell if he even had eyes. His nails were so overgrown they curled, he smelled horrible, and his teeth were rotting,” said April Howard, director of Dorchester Paws, to The Dodo.

The shelter staff immediately took Binky to the vet, where his matted fur was shaved off, offering him much-needed relief.

With medication to ease his pain, Binky responded with a brave and gentle attitude, charming everyone with his sweetness.

Once his makeover was complete, a microchip scan revealed the best news—they had found his family.

Reunited At Last

Binky’s family was in shock when they received the news. They couldn’t believe their beloved dog, whom they affectionately called “Mr. B,” had been found after so long.

“The family was in disbelief. They said, ‘Are you sure it’s Mr. B?! Binky was already a senior when they adopted him, so they never thought they would see him again,’” shared Howard.

The discovery that Binky had survived for years as a stray, far from home in Georgia, was nothing short of miraculous.

The shelter staff wasted no time in reuniting Binky with his family, driving the six hours to deliver him back into their arms.

When Binky’s family finally saw him, emotions ran high. Though blind and mostly deaf, Binky couldn’t see their faces or hear their voices. But as soon as he caught the familiar scent of his family, his excitement was undeniable.

He melted into their loving embrace, overwhelmed with joy.

Despite his physical limitations, Binky knew he was home.

His tail wagged with happiness as his family smothered him in affection. Binky returned their love with little kisses, savoring the warmth he had missed for so long.

Sadly, soon after his return, Binky’s health began to decline.

His family remained by his side, showering him with love and comfort until the very end. They held him close as he crossed the rainbow bridge, grateful that Binky spent his final days surrounded by those who loved him the most.

Binky’s family will forever cherish the precious time they had with him, never forgetting the joy of their reunion and the bond they shared.
