An Alabama family drove to Golden to be reunited with their dog Boozer on Saturday after a nine-year separation.
Boozer, now 10, went missing while the family was moving from Tennessee to Alabama.
KUSA-TV reports that a man who had owned Boozer, a boxer, recently moved to Denver and gave the dog to Foothills Animal Shelter on Aug. 2. The man said he was unable to care for Boozer.
The shelter scanned Boozer’s microchip and discovered that he was registered to Lloyd Goldston of Alabama. Goldston and his two children drove 18 hours to the animal shelter, where Goldston got teary-eyed when he got to spend time with Boozer again.
When Boozer went missing, Goldston said he didn’t have time to look for him in the middle of his move to another state.
