I agree
 

Amazing... And I think he would remember you too....would it be possible to go there and see?

My prayers for you to find Yoshi. I know the Lord hears our requests and you must keep looking and follow His lead. Now I am married to a policeman and if one of them ever got rude , people would complain and they would be in big trouble. What about the sheriff? Not all cops have attitude. If I would go in there crying and holding a picture of my dog I bet some nice officer would take time to help me go to that house. Not look for Yoshi on the streets but go to the house because there may be a distance.
Keep praying and looking.

Just take some big guy and go over there. I would, do not go alone. Be nice and see if you hear barking. You may find Yoshi there.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. My heart hurts for Yoshi. Yoshi's eyes are so sad in the picture that was sent to you. You can see sadness clear through to his soul. Our babies are raised in an environment of pure love and any hint of meanness just breaks their spirit so quickly. He's obviously been through so much. Being back in the loving arms of his Mommy and remembering that unconditional love would surely be medicine for his little soul.

Yoshi has been found.... Read post #334 for update

I am so thankful that Yoshi has been found. I do hope you can bring him home. He deserves to know that he is loved and has been loved by you during the time he has been gone. I believe he will know you and that the bond is still there, unconditional love. I think hearing your voice and touch will help start his healing process. They may have become attached to him but what is best for Yoshi is the most important thing and in my heart I believe it is you. I hope you will be able to bring him home and complete the miracle of finding him and returning him to his true home. Sending love, prayers, best wishes and congratulations on Yoshi being found. God bless you sweet Yoshi may your fears be over and all you know is love for the rest of your life.

Good luck in your decision.
If I were in your shoes, I know there would be many questions that I'd have to have answered.

run, fly, as fast as you can and get your baby back. let him know all will be well. my heart is breaking for what he's probably been through. to be back in his home would be so healing I would think. :confused:

This is amazing...that Yoshi has been found! I hate to say it, but he looks so terribly sad in that picture and he needs you to come get him. He's your dog and he belongs with you. I hope you get him and don't make him wait any longer!

OMG!! This is great news, that Yoshi has been found.
I hope your baby is back with you very soon. A loving caring home. Home with his mommie.

I hope you get him back! No offense to the elderly lady who found him, but you have been waiting for 5 years to get your baby boy back. I know how easy it is to fall in love with him, I mean look at that face! He's adorable!! But you went through so much when you lost him, and I bet he did too. I think Yoshi deserves to go home.

What a heartbreaking story and long search. To be found 5 years later is a miracle!
If this was Huey that had been lost, there is not a force on this earth that could stop me from immediately picking him up the moment I was notified he was found. If it meant calling in sick to work, buying a plane ticket, renting a car, whatever. I am in tears just thinking about what this poor baby might have been through, but Yoshi is now found! He needs to come home, the sooner the better. His healing can't begin until then. I pray that you find a way to get him home soon!

It's so amazing he has been found. He looks so sad. Is there anyone who could go get him for you? I couldn't stand to leave him with strangers a moment longer.

How far away do you work from your home? Could something be worked out where someone picks him up, and different members drive legs of the trip to get him back to you? I know I would do that in a heartbeat. I agree, I'd get him back. He will remember his mama. He needs to be home.

Thank you all for the kind words and I too now feel that it's in his best interest and mine to bring him home. I been playing it over and over in my head all day. Still wondering if this is still some sort of dream. The picture shows how sad he is. My only problem is that I can't make it back until christmas. I was down and out of a job for so long and I can't afford to be out of another job when I have 6 furbabies to take care of. I been driving myself crazy all day today looking through old pictures od yoshi from the first day I got him up to my lost/stolen flyer. My heart is heavy and torn on what to do. It's been almost 5 years and in those 5 years I questioned and blame myself for being so careless to let him out to potty without a thought of him getting stolen. And I beat myself up for it each day. And now after hearing that he has been found I still am in disbelief. But how do I take him back without hurting the elderly lady? How is he going to adjust himself to my other 6? Will I have time to help him heal? Will I bring more pain and suffering to him if I'm at work and can not give him the attention he needs? What if he doesn't remember me? Or maybe he blames me for what he has been through. I so very much want to jump in my car and go see him, hold him, tell him I'm sorry for letting him out that day. There are a million and one things going through my head right now. I'm so confused and since hearing the news that he has been found all the emotions and pain I have somehow covered up these past few years has been bought up to the surfuce.
