I am still in shocked that after almost 5 years he has been found. I was skeptical of the email i got today from the microchip company.
Dear Mary Nguyen,
Often people are unaware that their pet has gone missing, but luckily your beloved Yoshiko has been found!
A kind individual has contacted PetLink to notify us that they have found Yoshiko. Please contact PetLink ASAP at
petlink@petlink.net or at 1-877-PETLINK (738-5465) to find out how to be reunited with Yoshiko.
So in shocked it took me about 2 hours to call them. And they gave me the vet's info that scanned the chip so i called him and he assure me that we are talking about Yoshi. He said a lady had found a Yorkie and bought him in and policy states they must scan for microchip which then lead them to me. He stated that Yoshi was so badly matted and infested with fleas. He also has really bad teeth. And i kept asking him question because at this point i am still not able to believe it. That after all these years he was finally found. So he gave me the number to the lady who currently has him. She is an elderly lady who loves and adores Yoshi. Even after speaking to her I am still in shock and unable to believe. I asked if they could send me a picture of him and her daughter was the one who actually found him under her car. he was scared and from the way he acts they can tell he has been traumatized from abuses. They can't have any fast movements or even pick up their daily paper without him shivering and cowering down. I am in tears right now because I had to make the hardest decision today when the elderly lady asked me if I was going to take him back. I am torn because i know she has become attached to Yoshi. This was a picture the daughter sent me tonight. She will be sending some more tomorrow. I still can't believe it.
