For almost two months, Max the dog couldn’t seem to find his way home.
He went missing in May in San Antonio, Texas and his family was afraid that they would never see him again. That was until Deputy Perez of the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office received a call about a dog found wandering a local neighborhood.
No one knows how Max survived out there on his own, but his family was so excited to have him back. His two human sisters were especially grateful for the reunion; one couldn’t stop crying tears of joy and hugging Max when the dog was returned to them.
Little Max is now safe and sounds back home thanks to Perez and the good samaritan who made the call about spotting him in the neighborhood.
“Man, to see these little girls’ faces is priceless!” one commenter said. “These little critters have major impacts on our hearts. Thank you officer Perez for delivering their baby back to the family. Much love to you!”
The story is one that warmed the hearts of many online. The little girls were clearly so happy to have their best friend back — and it was all because of one kind officer that it happened.
“We need to see more stories of police doing good,” another commenter said on the post. “This warms my heart.”
The sheriff’s office was just as glad to see the reunion — and it’s clear that Max was over the moon as well. Now, he’ll no longer have to worry about where he will get his next meal or sleeping alone outside on the streets.
