TienmhsEight Years After Hurricane Harvey, Long-Lost Dog Blue Finds Her Way Home
A Texas family is celebrating a miracle eight years in the making after being reunited with their beloved dog, Blue, who went missing during the chaos of Hurricane Harvey. Back in 2017, when the massive storm struck Corpus Christi, the family’s backyard fence was destroyed, and two-year-old Blue disappeared in the flooding and confusion. Despite tireless searching, months turned into years with no sign of their sweet pup.
That is, until now.
In an astonishing twist, Blue was recently discovered 300 miles away in a public restroom at Cameron Park in Waco, Texas. A kindhearted stranger found her alone and scared, then brought her to the Pet Circle Regional Animal Center, a local shelter in Waco. What happened next would change everything.
Staff at the shelter scanned Blue for a microchip and discovered that it was still active and registered to her original family in Corpus Christi. Shelter workers reached out to the contact number—and on the other end of the phone, Blue’s family was shocked and overjoyed. After nearly a decade apart, they were getting their girl back.
To make the reunion happen faster, the good Samaritan who found Blue even volunteered to meet Blue’s mom halfway between Waco and Corpus Christi. Photos from Pet Circle show Blue riding calmly in a car and joyfully reuniting with her long-lost family, sharing a powerful moment filled with tears, cuddles, and disbelief.
“This heartwarming reunion is a powerful reminder that microchips work,” the shelter shared in their social media post. Blue’s microchip had remained up to date all these years, offering the lifeline that brought her home.
Stories like Blue’s aren’t just rare—they’re inspiring. They also bring to mind similar tales from Hurricane Harvey, such as Maddie, a senior dog who was reunited with her family long after the storm. These stories speak to the enduring bond between humans and their pets and highlight the vital importance of microchipping and maintaining accurate contact information.
Thanks to the kindness of strangers, a bit of good fortune, and modern technology, Blue is finally where she belongs—safe, loved, and home at last. Her story is living proof that no matter how much time passes, hope should never be lost.
