“Immediately, we get a message from a woman saying that the dog was her son’s and that he had been looking for her!” Ferreyra told The Dodo.

 

Ariel Naveira was certain that Pakita was coming back to him. After all this time, Ariel had to accept the fact that Pakita would never return home. But then his mother called him after seeing the Facebook post. He couldn’t believe it was her. But he went to the shelter the next day just in case. The volunteers came out with Pakita and showed her to Ariel, and he recognized immediately that she was hers, but Pakita wasn’t so sure. You can see in the video that she looks hesitant, uneasy as she sniffs around and around, but eventually realizes it’s her.

 

She dropped to the floor in joy, wagging her tail as she awaits for her favorite person in the world to give her proper belly rubs. It may have been two years, but she recognized that fragrance, face, and touch instantly. He finally arrived after all of that waiting! It’s a dream come true!
