Konrad Fredrickson, the owner of the Bear dog, told Toronto CTV News that his dog, a 3-year-old German-Shepherd mixed-breed dog named Bear, disappeared from his backyard last fall while playing a golf tournament and initially thought he might have been bitten to death by a coyote.
But what shocked him was that he recently received a **, a veterinarian, who informed him that the dog had been found.
In an interview with Toronto's CTV News, he said: "I thought it was a coyote who captured it because we didn't get any response after our Facebook post about it. ”
The dog was taken to Islington Village Animal Hospital last week for examination. According to the clinic manager, Andrea Marci, they were able to contact the dog's owner, Fredrickson, through a microchip.
"When the microchip was discovered, the veterinarian helped "BEAR" to reunite with its owner through appropriate channels. ”
This reminds pet owners how important it is to microchip their pets and make sure yours are up to date with the chip company. ”
Fredrickson said he has been in touch with the person who took in the dog and plans to reunite with the dog Bear in the near future.
Fredrickson recreates the magical journey of Bear the dog: it turns out that a Toronto resident took in the dog while working in Stoughton, Saskatchewan, when the dog walked to a construction site a few miles from Fredrickson's home.
"This guy thought Bear was a stray dog, and he didn't want to take it to shelter because he didn't want Bear to be euthanized," Fredrickson said. ”
This, very Canadian!
Since receiving the **, a friend of Fredrickson has set up a GoFundMe page to raise money to send the dog Bear home. Now that they've raised their target $2,000, they'll be able to take Bear home right away.
