Here's today's feel-good story:
Aisha Nieves from Allentown, PA was recently looking to adopt a new dog for her two sons.
She decided to look at the Lehigh County Humane Society's website and noticed that a pit bull-rottweiler mix was up for adoption that looked like the same dog she lost a couple years prior.
"I thought, 'Wait, that can't be him,'" Nieves said. "Then, I saw the little scar over one eye, the scar from when he got caught in a gate, and I was like, 'Oh my God, that's my baby, that's Kovu!'"
When she went to go pick up Kovu, she described the reunion:
"He was screaming, trying to get away from the guy holding him and run to me. Then, he just jumped on me, and we started kissing and hugging. He sat on my lap. I told him, 'Yeah, buddy, you're going home. I'm so sorry this happened. Never again am I losing you.'"
Kovu is now back home with Nieves and her family and will be celebrating his seventh birthday soon!
