Any pet parent's nightmare is losing their pet in any way. That is your BABY and if you lose them, you lose a piece of yourself. Unfortunately, dog-napping is just another worry added to the list for pet parents. One family actually experienced this nightmare. 

Their family dog Gizmo had gotten out of their home. They were panicked and posted everywhere they could to help find him. He was not chipped, so it was a dire situation. They family desperately wanted their canine love back. Pretty soon after posting they found a post from a local shelter that had posted a picture of their dog—he had been found! Relief filled the family, until they reached out to the rescue. They said that a woman had already come in and picked him up claiming that it was her dog. They could not believe it. 

They reached out to her and she refused to return their sweet Gizmo. She blocked them on everything and even when the family showed up to this woman's home with the police demanding she return their dog, she did not budge—and the police did not help. The family could have accepted defeat, but that was their Gizmo! He was more than a pet to them, he is family. So they fought for two years to get their dog back. 

Recently, their fight turned fruitful when the mother of the woman who stole their dog got a hold of them. She said she had learned of the situation and wanted to return their dog to them. The family burst with excitement and the mom filmed the reunion. You can see how the dog goes from confused to bursting with happiness when he realizes he's coming back home. He runs straight to the arms of his mom, his human siblings, and his dad. He jumps up, kisses them, and wags his tail nonstop. 

It's a beautiful moment—a happy ending to a heart-wrenching story. Look for yourself below!
