In Sharonville Ohio Hannah (last name not provided to WXIX-TV) was distraught.
She’d lost all hope of ever being reunited with her golden retriever Will who went missing from her yard in 2019. Then one day she saw online that the Clermont County Animal Shelter about a found senior golden retriever named Rome.Rome reminded her so much of Will that she had to go meet him. The shelter said Rome was getting checked out at the vet but he would be at the My Furry Valentine event that weekend where hundreds of animals would be adopted.
When Hannah arrived at the event, the volunteers said Rome went nuts when he saw her. He was trying to break the chain to run to her. Volunteers described the scene. “Tears of joy flowed as Hannah rushed to Rome who was wagging his tail so hard and as she got to him she bent down and gave him a massive hug. She kept saying "Will. Oh my gosh is it really you Will”
Volunteers say they may not know where this dog has been for 5 years, but they are confident this is Will and are crying tears of joy over seeing the reunion with Hannah.
