A missing dog’s owner never lost hope — then he got emotional news.
Tony Duncan received a phone call telling him his beloved Luna was found about 1,000 miles from his Maryland home. He rushed to Florida for the chance to see her for the first time in two years.
“It was a long distance, but it had nothing in comparison to the love that I have for my dog,” Duncan told McClatchy News in a June 25 phone interview.
Then, the time finally came for Duncan to see his long-lost pup again.
“She just started running (in) circles, could hardly contain herself,” Duncan said. “I believe she was just as happy as we were. If I had a tail, I’d have been trying to wag my tail off as well.”
Luna’s journey started in April 2022, when she was living in Mardela Springs, Maryland, a roughly 100-mile drive southeast from Baltimore. Luna was accustomed to wandering Duncan’s rural property with her canine brother Trooper, but one day she was nowhere to be found.
“We waited and waited, hoping that she would come back,” Duncan said. “And she never did. So, we were completely devastated.”
