July 27 (UPI) -- A Nebraska family was reunited with their missing dog when he turned up five years later at an Indiana truck stop about 642 miles from home.
Lincoln resident Inmaculada Jackman said her family's dog, Chong, escaped from home in 2021, prompting a years-long search for the missing pet.
"I still looked for him," Jackman told KOLN-TV. "We still went to our old neighborhood and drove around and looked to see if we could see anyone walking him or if he was running around somewhere."
The search finally came to an end when a friend sent Jackman a Facebook post from the Hendricks County Animal Shelter in Indiana.
Chong had been found outside the Loves Truckstop in Pittsboro, about 642 miles from home.
