After 10 Years, Lala Is Finally Found! Owner Asks, "Do You Remember Me?"—And It Breaks the Volunteer's Heart

In Texas, a shelter recently took in seven dogs that were abandoned by their owners, one of which was an elderly Labrador named Samson. At that time, he was in terrible condition, with skin issues on his ears and limbs, fleas all over his body, and a very poor mental state, always looking down and dejected...

Before taking him for treatment, as per routine, the staff scanned his microchip, and to their surprise, they found information from ten years ago.

With a "let's give it a try" mentality, the staff contacted his owner from ten years ago and asked if he still remembered Samson.

The owner was shocked. He had lost his beloved dog ten years ago and had searched for him tirelessly, but after several years, he had no luck. However, he and his family never forgot about Samson and always hoped to be reunited with him.

Little did he know, the day he had been waiting for had finally come!

The owner immediately drove to the shelter. After ten years apart, he didn't expect the dog to remember him. Seeing Samson's current state broke his heart...

He walked up to Samson, gently looked into his eyes, and said, "Samson, it's me. Do you remember me?"

Samson, who had been feeling down for so long, seemed to recognize his old owner. He approached him, sniffed his hand, and looked up at him with a face full of grievance.

The owner held back tears and said, "We lost so many happy moments..."

Now, Samson had gone from the lively young dog he once was to an elderly and frail one. But without hesitation, the owner took him home. He wanted to make up for the lost love and companionship over the past ten years.

Ten years is nearly a lifetime for a dog. Little did I know what Samson had gone through during these years, leaving him mentally and physically exhausted, with no smile left on his face...

I hope that after returning to the long-awaited warm home, Samson can remember the time when he was loved as a puppy and find his smile and happiness in that love.

I wish him the best, and at the same time, I hope there will be fewer stray dogs in the world, fewer dogs in shelters, and more dogs being loved and cherished by their owners.
