The bond between a dog and its human best friend is one of the strongest, if not the strongest of all bonds.
A young couple in the U.S. Army learned this lesson well. They were so attached to their puppies that they couldn’t imagine a day without them.
However, just before their first birthday, something happens that leaves a hole in their hearts forever.
one family member drove them to despair
Jody was Gregory and Victoria Hudler’s emotional support dog. The couple from Morristown, N.J., held it like a drop of water in his palm. Unfortunately, when Jody was one year old, we had to temporarily leave her with her family as her first child was just born.
After everything was over, they tried to contact the family, but to no avail. After a moment of hesitation, a family member admitted selling Jody. The couple is broken.
“At that point, with it being a family member, it was a little bit difficult,” said Gregory Hudler for News12 New Jersey. “We decided on not contacting the authorities and causing a giant mess with the family.”
Although they tried everything in the following days to get some information about Jodie, there were no results. Thus began almost two desperate years in which every day, they believed a little less that they would ever see their beloved puppy again.
When They Had Already Lost Hope, A Miracle Happened
It had been over a year and a half since they’ve seen their doggo. Unfortunately, they lost hope of ever seeing him again.
Then, a few days later, they received news that brought tears of joy to their faces. They got a call from a shelter in Tennessee, saying Jodie had been discovered there.
It’s unclear how she ended up there, but her microchip aided the Hudlers in identifying her because of their information on it.
The only problem was how to get Jodie to them in Morristown. However, Wings of Rescue, and Animal Lifeline took care of that.
“Tomorrow Wings of Rescue will make a special stop in Knoxville, Tennessee to pick him up, and join our 130 dog transport from Mississippi, so he can be reunited with this super excited couple! We”ll be singing Reunited and It Feels So Good across the east coast! Let The Fur Fly!!!” Wings of Rescue posted on their official Facebook page.
Their meeting is difficult to describe in words, so it is best to watch the video of this reunion for yourself. It will certainly not leave you indifferent.
