A dog returns home after a month

Animals become family members and it can be heartbreaking for their caretakers when they go missing.

The Heffernan family has a greyhound, Prince, who took off one day when a door was accidentally left open. A community effort to locate him failed. Finally, a month later, Clinton Waddell was in the woods and spotted what he thought was a coyote. It turned out to be Prince, who was dangerously underweight. He called the number on his collar and Prince was reunited with his family.

What a relief for the Heffernan family! Remember, if there is any chance of your pets getting outside, make sure they have collars clearly identifying how you can be reached. A happy reunion like that of the Heffernan family could be at stake!
