When you leave your home for school or work, you’ll often hear your dog whimpering as you open your car door and they realize that they’re going to be left behind.
It can be tough to leave your pup behind, but the one thing that makes it easier is knowing that when you get home after a long day, you’ll find your dog wagging their tail uncontrollably, so excited to see you.
Dogs are one of the most intelligent and emotional creatures in the world. Aside from their ability to understand various human social and emotional cues, they can also recognize their owners by their scent, voice, and face.
If you and your dog share happy and pleasant memories, your bond will be unseverable, and your pup will remember you quite easily even if you get separated for a long time.
This is just what happened with Nick and his dog, Lucy. The pair got separated after Nick and his wife divorced.
Nick and Lucy’s story is a concrete example of an unseverable bond. Nick Pizio had spent years with his dog Lucy, and they considered each other the best of friends. Unfortunately, Nick and his wife got divorced and Lucy was left in her care.
Nick was devastated when he had to leave Lucy behind. Nick eventually got engaged to a woman named Shannon McCann who owned a Husky. While Nick loved Shannon’s dog, it was not enough to heal his heart after being separated from Lucy.
He never stopped thinking about his best friend. He continued longing for Lucy, hoping to see her again.
Then, in October 2019, Nick was scrolling through Facebook when he came across a post from the shelter Planned Pethood. This was the post he saw that made him go to the dog shelter immediately.

He found out that the shelter was holding an adoption event, but what really caught his eye were the pictures of the dogs up for adoption. Without any doubt in his mind, he was sure that one of those dogs was Lucy. He immediately went to the shelter without hesitation.
A simple glance was enough for them both to recognize each other.
Just before he reached the shelter, he grew anxious that someone might have adopted the dog already. Lucky for him, it was not too late. He found the poor dog sitting in the corner. It only took a glance for Nick to recognize his dog. Lucy also immediately started wagging her tail in excitement as she spotted her best friend.
“When we opened the crate to let her out, she jumped all over him and her tail wouldn’t stop,” Shannon told The Dodo.
Nick filled out some adoption paperwork, and then he was able to take Lucy home right away.
Nick still had some questions about why his ex-wife gave Lucy up to a shelter. Shannon wrote on her Facebook page that Nick and his ex-wife separated on good terms so there was no reason why she could not have contacted them regarding Lucy. Regardless of these uncertainties, the most important thing for Nick is to have Lucy back in his life.
Their sweet reunion touched the hearts of many.
After three years apart, they are now reunited. Their reunion was heart-melting and tear-jerking at the same time. It was unbelievable that a dog could remember her owner so well after three whole years apart, but it was indeed proof for their undeniable love for each other.
Nick is never letting Lucy go again. She is now living in a happy household together with Nick, Shannon, and her new Husky friend, Kuma.
