Dog Stolen Years Ago Flies 600 Miles Back to Her Family
On what seemed like an ordinary day in Baytown, Texas, the Moore-Malmstrom family allowed their German Shepherd, Sheba, to enjoy some outdoor playtime.
Little did they know, it would be the last moment they’d spend with their beloved pup.
Sheba, still just a puppy, was cruelly taken from them, leaving the family devastated. Despite their tireless search efforts, it was as if Sheba had disappeared into thin air.
Just when they thought they’d lost him for good, the unthinkable happened many years later.
Sheba Was Missing For 4 Years
The pain of losing Sheba was indescribable for her family. Stephanie even took to Facebook, pleading with whoever took their beloved pup to bring her back.

The family, including Stephanie’s two young daughters, was devastated. They spent countless nights wondering where Sheba was, but there were no clues, no sightings, nothing.
Eventually, after months of searching, they had to face the heartbreaking reality that they might never see Sheba again.

Years passed without any news until one day in August 2022, Stephanie received a message that would change everything. It read: “Hi Stephanie, your pet, Sheba, has a microchip that has been reported as found…”
After more than four years, Stephanie was in shock, barely able to believe the news.
“My initial thought was, ‘Where’s my million dollars and my cruise?’” Stephanie shared with The Dodo.
A Tearful Reunion Years Later
Sheba had been found 600 miles away in Borger, Texas, by Officer Harper from Borger Animal Control.
He spotted Sheba wandering alone and brought her to the shelter. When they scanned her for a microchip, they quickly traced her back to Stephanie’s family.
Thanks to Pilots N Paws, Sheba was flown back to her family for an emotional reunion.
As soon as Sheba stepped off the plane, she recognized her family immediately, rushing over to them with excitement. Tears of joy flowed as Sheba was finally back where she belonged, surrounded by the people who loved her most.
Stephanie later learned that Sheba had lived with another family for over four years, but they cruelly abandoned her when they moved away. Fortunately, Officer Harper found her just in time.

Now, Sheba is safe and happy, showering her family with love. She’s the sweetest, most affectionate dog, leaving the painful past behind her and enjoying every moment with her beloved family.
