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.

OMG! Crying for you and Yoshi.... go get him. There are plenty of dogs at the pound or in rescue that need homes that this nice lady could adopt. What she's feeling is nothing compared to what you have been through!

I wish it was that easy. Due to my work I am currently out of state working and won't make it back home until christmas. I wanted to run yesterday when I heard the news but for years after losing my job I was not able to get one in which I ended up losing my home and everything and now with a job it's hard to just leave like that since it's hard to find a good job in this day and age. Thank you.

I believe on the other thread Mary said he was found in Wichita, about 7 miles from where he disappeared. I don't know where Mary lives now though.

Don't you have someone you could ask to go get him? A family member or really good friend, maybe someone you go to church with? I don't know how far away Yoshi is from where you actual home is and I am hoping not to far away. But, surely there is someone who can go get your baby. If I lived near Kansas I would volunteer to go pick that precious little darling up. You absolutely must get him back. I know he has missed you and his family all these years. And to even think about what he has been through :cry::cry:. Well, I can't think about that right now because it's just too much. Please call someone, I know there are kind and charitable people there who would gladly do this for you. Our world has problems but there is still goodness out there.

my nieces who loves him dearly has moved to Michigan and they would be the only ones I know would go snatch him up in a heartbeat. Cowley County I think is about 45 mins - 1 hour from where my parents stay in Wichita. I am currently in Greenville, MS working. I really don't have any one who is able to run and pick him up and watch him until i am able to get home. I wish there was someone who can pick him up take him to my vet to get rescanned to confirm it is really him since this is the vet that implanted the chip. When she said she had him scanned by a vet tech when she first found him and no chip was found. Then months later her mom happens to take him to a vet in another city and his chip scanned has me confused. I'm just rambling because i don't know..emotions and thoughts are all ever the place right now.
