Florida Woman Reunited with Lost Dog After a Decade

A microchip played a crucial role in reuniting a Miami woman with her 14-year-old cockapoo, Cleo, who had been missing for 10 years.

After 10 years apart, a Miami woman was reunited with her 14-year-old cockapoo at an animal shelter in Tampa Bay.
The reunion was made possible thanks to a microchip that led the Humane Society of Tampa Bay to the dog's owner, Luisa.
Despite moving to Miami and the long time apart, Luisa and her family never lost hope and continued to update Cleo's microchip information.
The Humane Society of Tampa Bay highlighted the importance of microchipping pets and keeping the information up to date.
While it's unclear where Cleo spent the decade she was missing, the shelter believes she may have been with another family, though no one else claimed her.
