A beloved family dog disappeared in Oklahoma and was found eight months later in Jacksonville. The local community stepped up and made the two-day trip to reunite the lost pet with his owners, but it came with a few roadblocks.

“We were so distraught at his disappearance,” Amanda Lester said. “We love him and we greatly, greatly missed him.”
Their dog, Frazier, went missing in May. Lester said she was losing hope he’d ever be found until just last week. A driver spotted him on McDuff Ave. on the Westside.
The neighbor claimed she brought the dog to Animal Care & Protective Services, but was turned away and told to drop the dog back off where he was found. Lester did get a call, but not until after Frazier was dropped back off on the street.
“How strange. That doesn’t mean found. You can’t say found if you don’t know where he is. We have to fix this,” she said.
The Jacksonville community did fix it. After a day of searching and several posts on social media groups, the dog was again spotted.
