Texas woman’s dog, missing since May, turns up in Indiana
KOKOMO, Ind. (WISH) — Friday was the day a dog from Texas who ended up in Kokomo Indiana made his trip back home.
A retired sheriff’s deputy from Galveston made the drive to Kokomo starting on Wednesday to pick up the dog named Blue. He arrived at the Kokomo Humane Society on Friday to take Blue home.
Owner, JoAnn Navarro from Galveston said she was ecstatic to hear her dog was found alive and well some 1,100 miles away. Navarro said Blue vanished last May, along with her other pit bull. Navarro said she put them both in the backyard and the next day they were gone.
About two weeks ago, a Kokomo Humane Society staffer called with the news that a stranger had dropped off Blue, now 1-year-old, in Kokomo, which is about 40 miles north of Indianapolis.
Navarro, whose Galveston home is 1,100 miles from Kokomo, recently lost her job and couldn’t afford the trip to get Blue. Luckily a retired sheriff’s deputy from Galveston decided to make the 34-hour round-trip. (Provided Photo/Kokomo Humane Society) (Provided Photo/Kokomo Humane Society)
