Austin woman drives to Nebraska to reunite with dog that went missing 2 years ago

An Austin woman is reunited with her dog, Bowser, after two years apart.

The Nebraska Humane Society posted that the woman, identified as Robin, had been missing Bowser for two years before she got the call about his new town.

The humane society posted that Bowser came to their facility as a stray and his microchip traced back to Robin in Austin.

Robin drove overnight to Omaha, Nebraska "through ice and sleet for the happy reunion," the humane society posted.

A woman commented on they story and identified herself as a former Katy resident and the dog's most recent owner. She wrote that she had purchased the dog off of Craigslist and later moved to Nebraska. The woman speculates in the post that the person she bought the dog off of had stolen him from the Robin's yard.

wasn't going to do it and the woman who bought him had no reason to think of doing it. It was only when she turned him into the Humane society that it became a reasonable step to take.

Many years ago I worked with a woman who had a St. Bernard. She said her husband worked for a butcher shop and got all the trimmings and they STILL could barely afford food for him.
