When animals go missing, we can only hope and pray that they come home! In this story, we meet a dog named Kano, affectionately known as Skillet, who is cared for by DeKalb County Animal Services in Georgia. After 5 months of waiting, despite her friendly and lovely nature, Kano will still forever be without a family. Due to space limitations at the DeKalb County shelter, Kano was transferred to LifeLine Animal Project’s adoption center in Atlanta, a fortuitous decision that returned him to his original family.
LifeLine Animal Project shared the above good news Facebook page, announced, “Kano, formerly known as Skillet in his shelter family, has found his way home! He found the best results; reunited with family!” This reunion came about when Kano’s “grandmother,” the mother of his previous owner, discovered Kano’s photo on the shelter’s website after feeling compelled to search for her lost pet. Surname.
The woman recalled that her son had raised Kano in the Blue Ridge Mountains since he was a puppy, describing him as the cutest dog. However, when her son joined the army, family circumstances forced her to return to her hometown of Kano, but the boy later disappeared. “But it wasn’t long before my intuition told me I needed to look for him,” she told LifeLine Animal Project. Intuition led her to LifeLine’s website, where she happily found Kano and quickly arranged to visit him.
Kano knew immediately that this woman was his family and turned his head when she called him by his real name. It brought tears of joy to the volunteers’ eyes. Everyone celebrates the reunion of Kano and his grandmother.
The woman expressed a deep connection to Kano, regretting breaking up but hoping he would understand her love. “In my soul I know he needs me; it was as if he was calling me somehow. I know that sounds crazy. I tell him every day that I’m sorry for trying as hard as I could at the time and that I love him so much! I still feel guilty, but I hope he knows and feels my love for him,” she explained in LifeLine Animal Project’s Facebook post.
With a cheerful determination, the woman recently bought a house with a fenced backyard for Kano to enjoy. Even though her son, who is about to be deployed, won’t see Kano again, their FaceTime interactions are still filled with happiness. Kano’s journey sometimes shows that the path to the right destination involves taking many paths.
