A lost puppy was found 310 miles away from home and returned to his family. One-year-old Malinois Shepherd, Bandit, disappeared from his Côte-d’Or home in France in June of the previous year.

Farid, the owner, was devastated and spent months searching for his beloved pet. Despite his efforts, he couldn’t locate Bandit. Eight months later, a kind stranger discovered Bandit by the roadside.

Bandit had been stolen when he was just 4 months old. Fortunately, he had a microchip that helped Farid track him down after being found without a collar hundreds of miles from home.

The reunion between the two best friends was heartwarming and well-coordinated, thanks to the shelter, the compassionate stranger, and the microchip. Now Bandit and Farid can live harmoniously together.

After receiving the good news, Farid rushed to reunite with Bandit. He expressed his gratitude to everyone involved in helping Bandit return home, emphasizing the importance of microchipping pets. He called the day Bandit came back home one of the happiest days of his life.
