Koroshia
came to us as a stray wandering our Indianapolis, Indiana
neighborhood. He had visited with a couple of other neighbors for a
night or two, but kept moving on. We took him in, and had a vet
check him for an identification chip and general health. There was
no chip, and he was in good health. His pads were rough and his
nails worn down, as if he'd been on the road for some time.
His picture was posted at area veterinary offices, and the pet rescue pages on the internet were searched. There was a listing for a Siberian Husky that matched this stray perfectly, but it was all the way in Minnesota! It was an unlikely match, but just in case, an email was sent and phone calls exchanged with little encouragement. His digital picture was posted on these pages, and a link sent to the Minnesota family so they could see how closely this stray matched their missing companion. Promptly, we received email and an excited phone call from Minnesota. This stray was theirs. The photos were a perfect match! The Bensons drove twelve hours to Indianapolis to see the stray for themselves. It was a happy reunion! Koroshia had been with Mr. Benson since being stationed in Japan in the Armed Forces. He and his family had recently moved to Minnesota. Koroshia and his sister had wandered away from their new home when a gate had been left ajar. The sister returned home. He hadn't been seen for almost 3 months, and was presumed lost forever. Since his disappearance, the Bensons had acquired another Siberian Husky. Upon his return home, Koroshia would have not one, but two playmates to keep him busy, and hopefully at home. At last report, Koroshia was enjoying the comforts of his own home. |
