Donating YT 3000 Club Member | Bengi Is Home!!! - All the details!!!! Hi everybody! words cannot express how I feel right now!my baby is home!!! I can't believe it!!! God is so good to us and he has answer our prayers; This is such a miracle!!!! He is ok, he was very stinky but he didn't look too bad at all, no knots or stuff stuck in his hair.He is, however, very thin, I can feel all his bones in his little body; we are taking him to the vet tomorrow to make sure he is fine. Ok, so yesterday around 2 pm I received this call on my cell, the area code was from the Orlando area so that always gets me excited, but then the caller ID identified the call as "Disney". I'm like, Disney? maybe I won tickets or something.. So I picked up and the conversation went something like this: - "Hi, I'm calling from the Animal Kingdom hospital, we have your dog" - What??? how did you get my number? are you reading the number from his collar? - Yes - Is his collar camo green and his name is Bengi? - Yes - OMG!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!! OMG!!!!! I can't believe it, you found my dog (CRYING REAL HARD), he's been lost for 3 weeks! - 3 weeks!!!!! wow, he looks like he's doing fine Ok, so she told me he was found in the Disney Casting Center (which is about 3 miles from the hotel) and that they brought him to the hospital so they can take care of contacting the owner and holding him in the meantime. The hospital is located inside the Animal Kingdom, in the Rafiki Planet Watch section; for the ones that have being there, it's where they have these big glass windows where you can see when they perform procedures to animals. They were closing at 5pm, so were not going tot make it in time yesterday, so we arranged to meet today in the morning. They assured me he was well taken care of, they fed him and gave him a blanket and stuff. So today we left the house early in the morning and headed over there. I didn't want to say much till we actually saw him cause after all we've been through I wanted to see him with my own eyes; and of course it was him! my little baby boy! I can't believe he's been outside by himself for almost 3 weeks, poor baby, I just can't imagine what he did all those days. I'm pretty sure he wasn't picked up by anybody cause the would have called me, or take off the collar and never return him. But the fact that he was still wearing his collar tells me he was by himself all this time. The ladies that brought him to me didn't know much more than that; We met at the entrance of Animal kingdom park, before the parking booths (I have a little video that I'll post later ) I don't know how he manage to stay away from people of this time; I'm sure people saw him from time to time, but he would always dissapear before anybody could catch him; he's not the kind of dog that would go to a stranger, unless we approve them. He must have been so scared, and hungry and cold!, but he is home now. He does have a few bites here and there, but no fleas. He was very very stinky, and because we didn't know where he's been and we had one of our daughters with us we needed to get him clean, so we stopped at a Petco so he could have a bath before the 3 1/2 hour car ride back home. The picture I posted on Facebook was taken before the bath, so you can see he wasn't looking that dirty. Most of the trip back home he was very excited and he cried a lot and then he barked at us (he had his moment when he was a little mad at us ), and then cried some more, kisses kisses kisses and after about 2 hours he was finally able to relax, but he didn't fall asleep. Then we went to my moms house, cause the grandparents wanted to see him so bad! and now he's sleeping in his bed Thank you guys so much for all your support and your help during this time. I don't have enough words to express my gratitude to each one of you! You are the best! I know I was gone from this forum for a few years cause I was busy with my girls and stuff, but we're staying now! I'm gonna share stories and pictures of this miracle boy regularly What a survivor, uh? he is very very tough! Now I'm going to rest... and I'm going to cuddle with him... ohhh how I missed him!!!! |

| Wow! That's really all I can say right now. (of course I'm boohooing all over again). He is just a survivor and a Miracle! God obviously had His hand on Bengi the entire time for him to be alone and outside for 3 whole weeks and come out the other end with a couple of bites and needing to eat some good home cookin'. I'm so beyond happy for you and your family, Ellie. We always hope and pray for happy endings. It sure is awesome to get one this miraculous and this close to the holidays. Give Bengi extra cuddles and hugs from all of us at YT!!!
