Simon Carter with Pepper - Image from Tampa Bay

I know I am repeating the animal from yesterday but I JUST had to write this story. If your dog goes missing for months together, then don't worry, for there still is hope as Pepper proved. Pepper the golden retriever went missing from his home in Atlanta, Georgia, a little before Christmas, from the home of Elizabeth Carter. The seven year old dog disappeared when Elizabeth and her family went on a vacation to Mexico leaving Pepper with a dog sitter. When someone lit firecrackers he got startled and ran away and never returned. After long enquiries and searches they gave up hope of finding him.

But nine months later, almost like a rebirth, Elizabeth got a call from St.Petersburg, Floria, 400 miles from Atlanta. Jay Getman who works at a travel agency found Pepper outside the door of the shop, soaking wet, filthy and flea infested. His heart melted at the sight of Pepper and he soon took him home. Pepper was given a nice bath and food and after a couple of days Jay took him to a vet, who found a microchip with Pepper's ownership details embedded. He made the call to Atlanta with some sadness since he had already become attached to the dog and informed Elizabeth. The very next day a still disbelieving Elizabeth hopped into her car and drove all the way to Florida and was soon reunited with her beloved Pepper. But the mystery still remains as to how Pepper traversed 400 miles and landed up so far away.
