18 Year Old South Carolina Dog Finally Reunited With Owners

A South Carolina dog has happily been reunited with his owners after going missing for three years.  A good Samaritan found Binky wondering around the streets of Sommerville, South Carolina and brought him into the Dorchester Paws Community Animal Shelter.

Then something truly sweet and wonderful happened.  Shelter workers scanned his microchip and discovered that Binky was no spring chicken.  Binky was actually 18 years old.  His owners live in Georgia and they were elated to get the news that their precious pet was found.

A shelter volunteer drove Binky home to Georgia after a few treatments.  Binky had rotting teeth and very long nails but they fixed him right up and took him home after three long years away.
