Quick Summary

A Yorkie mix named Owl, missing since December 2021 when he ran away from a grooming appointment in Sedona, Arizona, was found four years later near Camp Verde after being identified via his microchip. Reunited with his family, the emotional reunion was complicated by Owl’s poor condition—neglected and needing medical attention—but brought joy to them, especially to son Mason Goodson who was five when Owl joined their family.

Story summary

In December 2021, Owl, a nine-year-old Yorkie mix belonging to the Frawley family from Sedona, Arizona, went missing after being taken to a local grooming salon for a holiday trim. The heartbreaking incident occurred just days before Christmas, leaving the family devastated and launching extensive search efforts that included distributing hundreds of thousands of missing posters. Over four years later, on a recent weekend, a miraculous turn of events unfolded when Owl was found wandering near Camp Verde, approximately three hours away from his home. This reunion brought immense joy to Linsey Frawley and her family, who had almost given up hope after years without any trace of their beloved pet.
