REUNITED AFTER YEARS APART
Most of the time, when you adopt a dog from your local humane society, you don’t know what challenges you’ll encounter in taking care of them. Many are nice and well- behaved, but many also carry trauma from experiences with previous owners. Luckily for Pennsylvania mom Aisha Nieves, she didn’t have to guess when picking out a dog at the shelter. That’s because she adopted Kuvo, a pit bull-Rottweiler mix she had actually owned — until he went missing two years ago. Nieves came across Kuvo’s picture when she was searching for a dog that could be a companion for her two boys. At first, she wasn’t sure if she was actually looking at a picture of her own dog on the shelter’s website. However, when she recognized a small scar on the dog’s face, she knew she’d found her long lost pup. According to Nieves, Kuvo had initially escaped from their yard after a careless driver damaged their fence. Though Nieves searched for him, it seemed as though Kuvo
was gone, and she was devastated. However, Kuvo actually turned up several weeks later in someone else’s yard. They took him to a nearby shelter, where Kuvo was renamed Ash, treated for some injuries he had, and put up for adoption. Kuvo was adopted shortly thereafter, but after a while, his new owners had to bring him back to the shelter due to unfortunate circumstances. When he was put up for adoption a second time, that’s when Nieves found him. At first, Nieves was worried that Kuvo wouldn’t remember her. However, when Kuvo saw her, he immediately whined and tugged away from the shelter employee holding him. When he let him go, Kuvo jumped on Nieves, and they kissed and hugged. All the while, Nieves assured him, “Yeah buddy, you’re going home. I’m so sorry this happened. Never again am I losing you.” When Nieves lost Kuvo, it was like losing a family member. Upon finding him, she knew her family was whole once again.
