Having a pet and being separated from them for a long time is really tragic and heartbreaking. There comes a point that you’ll lose hope that your pet will come back, but let’s cling to that smallest chance of hope. One perfect example is this 10-year old Tyler Bandy who got reunited with his dog after two months of being separated.

The Bandy family did everything they could to find Bruiser the pit bull.

After this gray and white pit bull went missing, the Bandy family did every means they can think of to spread the news that their fur animal was missing. They posted fliers around their neighborhood in Florida, posted on Facebook, and even called the Animal Control and Animal Services to see if someone reported that they found Bruiser.

They even left a towel and a couple of pieces of old clothes in front of their home

In this manner, Bruiser could catch a trail of their scent and find its way back home. Oh, the little things you do just to let your fur animal come back.

How was Bruiser found?

Bruiser was picked up by someone who was on the way to Highlands County, and the dog ended up in the Animal Services. One of their staff, Teri Dosil, said that this pit bull looked familiar. So she started to look up some Facebook posts about dogs that went missing. Her instinct was right, this dog is Bruiser of Bandy’s family.

As soon as they got Bruiser back, they kept it a secret from Tyler, and as soon as he came home from school, Bruiser ran over him and hugged him. What a heartwarming reunion!

This dog definitely missed Tyler. He licked him and showered him with boops and kisses while wagging his tail which made Tyler cry even more. Seems that the guys were overwhelmed to be reunited after a long, long time of being separated.
