If only dogs could talk. Chato, the pug, would have quite the story.

He was missing for 6 years until this past Saturday when someone found him on Highway 99. He was taken to @frontstreetlife and scanned for a microchip...

His owner, Sandra Campos, NEVER changed her number even after moving to New Mexico. In case Chato would be found, she wanted to get the call. She never gave up hope!

And now with the help of Erica Vazquez, her boyfriend and the team at Front Street Animal Shelter, Chato will travel 17 hours on the road back into Sandra’s arms.

Never. Give. Up. Hope.
