Dog lost in Oklahoma reunited with owner after eight years

An Arizona man whose dog ran off during a stop in Oklahoma City was reunited with his canine companion eight years later.
Paul Guilbeault said he was in the midst of a move from Massachusetts to Arizona eight years ago when he made a pit stop in Oklahoma City and took his 5-year-old miniature pinscher, Damian, for a walk.
Guilbeault said he was trying to keep Damian from running into a road when the canine ran off.
“He either got fed up with being scolded or scared, and he just ran away. He started running down the service road, and I couldn’t catch him,” Guilbeault told AZ Central.
Guilbeault spent a week in Oklahoma City trying to locate Damian, but eventually had to continue on to Arizona.
It wasn’t until eight years later that he received a text message from Oklahoma resident Rick Chambers saying: “I found your dog.”
Chambers had found Damian wandering loose and taken him to a veterinarian, where a microchip scan revealed his name and owner’s contact information.
