A California woman says her pet dog, missing for the past five years, amazingly appeared on her front porch. She says while she never forgot him, she certainly never expected to see him again after five years and moving four times.
Myrna Carrillo and Prince are just getting reacquainted.
It’s been five long years since Prince went missing from Carrillo’s mom’s house. She got the shitzu when he was just a puppy and had him for three years.
“I was really attached to him, so ever since then I thought about him and we talked about if we were ever to see him again but I guess he’s been in town,” Carrillo said.
Carrillo lived at home and was not married when she lost Prince. Since then she’s moved four different times all around town.
Yet somehow, yesterday Carrillo came home from work and found the dog on her doorstep, and she had to do a double take.
“I thought I was seeing something. I just hope no one is playing a prank on me,” Carrillo said.
It sounds hard to believe, but looking at the pictures of Prince, it’s hard to deny the resemblance.
Carrillo’s husband, Refugio, says it would be hard to believe it wasn’t Prince.
Carrillo says not only did they all recognize Prince, but he recognized them. And although she left him outside last night, he never left her doorstep.
Carrillo’s two boys are already getting as attached to Prince as their mom once was, and the family says especially after the journey he must have taken to find them, Prince is destined to become one of the family.
umm… why did she leave him outside after he returned home? what a way to show him you’re happy to see him! i don’t get it…
I was thinking the same exact thing when I read it…I don’t get it.
Because there are “dog people” and there are “people who have dogs”. The two are not the same.
She left him outside, on the front porch, alone, overnight, WHY?????? He is destined to “become” one of the family????? Speechless, absolutely speechless. She’s moved 4 times in 5 years and he found her? No Way. Nothing about this story is remotely believable.
Unbelievable- literally. And shame on this nasty woman for leaving him outside. UGH. Delete it from the site- nothing to celebrate here.
Can’t believe this! Why why why would you leave your little buddy on the porch all night after it took him five years to find you??? Thumbs down to this lady!!!!
If my dog was missing for 5 years there is no way she would be left outside on the porch..she would be in my bed and attached to me in fear of losing her again. All that work to find you and you leave him outside..speechless!
She left him outside??!! I bet the dog is having second thoughts….
She left him outside all night. They dont deserve to have him back.
I have to agree with all of the above!! I would feel so blessed to have him back, I would view it as a miracle and never let him out of my sight again!! God bless the little fellow with a loving and forever home!!
HE WOULD HAVE BEEN OUTSIDE AT MY HOUSE…AND HE SHOULD NOT BE DESTINED TO BE ONE OF THE FAMILY…HE SHOULD BE ONE OF THE FAMILY!! CANT BELIEVE THIS. If this story is true, and why would you lie about being…kind of mean, sounds like someone they knew stole him, could keep him no longer and returned him. There are a lot of loving homes who would take him if this family does not want to commit. God bless and watch over this little dog. He has been through a lot and deserves a lot more.
I am worried about the safety of Prince with this woman. Left him outside?
