You're going to have to forgive us, because we're big softies when it comes to animal stories, and this one is a yarn for the ages. And even though this incredible animal story deals with a Lhasa Apso, which is basically a glorified dish rag anyway, we're going to forgo that and tear up like this family involved in the story surely did.
Gidget was a good dog who was unfortunately named after a shitty TV show starring Sally Field (we think it was Sally Field, but we were scratching our eyeballs out at the time, so we can't be sure - ed.). She realized this in 2001 and took off from her home in South Bend, Indiana. The Webb family was sure that their beloved dog had died, as no one had called in anything and they had not received any words of a sighting.
But never give up hope, my friends! Over four years after her disappearance, Gidget was found by animal control. still wearing her collar and tags. The now 13 year old pooch was returned home to a happy family with a little more stiffness, and still bearing the disappointment of being a Lhasa Apso, but at least she is home.
