If Coco could talk, she’d have quite the story to tell.
When Coco, the five pound Chihuahua, ran away from home in Arlington, Texas back in September, owner Amanda Benton didn’t expect her to make it eight hundred miles before she was found.
However, when the dog turned up in Atlanta, GA, Benton was just as shocked as she was relieved.
The Atlanta Humane Society found the dog and were equally surprised when they checked the microchip she had implanted and found where the dog came from.
The humane society contacted Benton and even bought her a plane ticket so she could come to Atlanta and pick up the dog in person.
The reunion between the two was very sweet:
But how did this dog end up all the way in Atlanta? The trip is over twelve hours by car. For a dog that weighs as much as a watermelon, that trip would be a long one on such tiny legs. Perhaps she hitchhiked her way there. I suppose this mystery is one that will remain unanswered for a while, but we are glad the two were happily reunited.
