Yet another reason to have your pet microchipped... A Reckless pooch, a brutal storm ... and a happy ending cnn/2014/05/02/us/superstorm-sandy-lost-dog-reunited/ When Chuck and Elicia James ventured to their local animal shelter to adopt a dog, they expected to meet a new member of their family. Instead they found themselves reunited with their long lost canine. The James had not seen Reckless, a brown and white terrier-pitbull mix, since he went missing over a year and a half ago during Superstorm Sandy. They had lost their beloved pup after the fence in their Keansburg, New Jersey, home was mangled during the storm, Chuck James told CNN on Friday. While the family never stopped looking for Reckless, for their 10-year-old daughters birthday they decided it was time to move on and adopt a new dog at the Monmouth County SPCA. To their surprise, the first dog they were introduced to was one named Lucas, who had a striking resemblance to their former pup. He jumped 3 feet in the air, James said. He immediately recognized us. And then the tears came -- there wasnt a dry eye in the place. The James confirmed it was their dog based on an uncanny scar on the top of his head. After Sandy, we had so many animals being turned in, said Jerry Rosenthal, president and CEO of the animal shelter. Rosenthal told CNN that 3-year-old Reckless ended up at the shelter last November after an employee found him on the streets.
