A dog at the centre of a search after the vehicle he was in was stolen, has finally been found and reunited with his owners.
“At first I was like, ‘Oh, this is just another siting,’” said Austin Flegel, who admitted feeling like he’d lost his dog forever, even as his mom relentlessly continued to send him pictures of found dogs posted online.
“Every day there’s been pictures of dogs from my mom but this time, she sent me a picture and I was like, ‘Yeah, that’s him,’” he said.
Within minutes of seeing the picture Saturday morning, Flegel and his family were scouring a property next to the Can-Am RV Centre on Colonel Talbot Road in south London — and that’s where they found Jaxx.
"He was really scared,” recounted Flegel. “We'd walk up to him and try and get him but he would shy away."
Even treats didn’t help lure him closer, so they called in help to retrieve Jaxx.
Jaxx’s original owners then came out to lend a hand.
