This story of a woman being reunited with the beloved dog she had to give up as a child is so moving, you could call it a Fairy Tale or TAIL, all in how you want to see it and I choose to see it as a dream come true!

Nicole Grimes was 10 years old when her grandmother gave her a puppy named Chloe.

When Grimes was 14, her father got a job working from the family’s home. Chloe barked a lot, and that put her dad’s job at risk.

Her parent’s made the difficult decision to try to find a new home for Chloe. When that didn’t work, they brought her to the local animal shelter. I would have never spoken to my parent’s again! 🙁

“I was really sad because I loved the dog,” 

Grimes thought when her daughter turned 1 year old, it would be a good time to adopt a dog for the home. Then about two weeks ago, a Facebook friend posted photos of an elderly dog, she was looking to rehome.

The small gray dog looked uncannily like Grimes’ childhood pet, Chloe!

This new dog’s name was Chloe, too. The similarities didn’t end there.

This Chloe was 11 years old, which is the age Grimes’ childhood pet would have been. That Chloe and this one even acted the same, giving out lots of kisses, and having huge amounts of energy.

“The only difference is that this Chloe is “smaller and doesn’t have teeth.”

Grimes’ had serious doubts that this could be the same dog. But she thought differently and brought Chloe to the vet. A microchip scan confirmed that this was indeed Grimes’ dog, her Chloe. (JOY) 🙂

The pair has been reunited after MANY years of separation and she said she feels like a little kid again!

I love this story, so much, that sweet baby gets to be with her momma again!
