Dico, the German Shepherd, went missing on 11 September 2015, when he was only a year and a half old.
His family was in the workshop when he suddenly disappeared.
Beloved family dog disappears mysteriously
When they realised he was gone, they searched everywhere – but there was no sign of him. It’s like he had evaporated into thin air. After months of searching, putting up posters, and offering rewards, the Garrido Quero family slowly accepted that they would never see their dog again.
Though Dico was the family dog, he was closest to the dad of the family. Sadly, the dad passed only two months after Dico disappeared. That was probably the family’s biggest regret: That their dad passed away not knowing what had happened to his beloved dog.
A fateful phonecall
On January 24th, 2022, Jose Garrdio Quero, the son, answered a phone call from the vet. What he heard on the other end of the line left him speechless:
Jose and his family immediately went to the vet clinic to see if this was true – and lo and behold, 6 years after disappearing, there was Dico the German Shepherd. Jose and his family couldn’t help the tears from pouring – it was like they were getting a small piece of their dad back.
After a full health check, the vet confirmed that the dog was in perfect health. All he needed was a little TLC.
A new beginning
Once back home, Dico, though 8 years old, started to feel young again. He instantly became happier and more active.
Thanks to his microchip, Dico can now spend his golden years being spoiled and cherished by his family, who never stopped loving him. You can watch the full reunion video here:
