We have a long-awaited update to a story we first brought you last week. Eleanor, the Neapolitan mff of Little Rock Animal Village, met with her

owner

, Teacher 11, Ashley Godwin, returned to the

shelter

to hear how the

owner

was found and to talk. about what seems like, by all accounts, a sweet reunion, the owner says her name is Darla, she had pictures and documents proving ownership and she picked her up Tuesday night when she approached the dog, she cried over him, she cried , put his face right into this dog's. expensive and there was no one around here who could do that with this dog, the Neapolitan Mastiff nicknamed Eleanor has been returned to her owner.

I'm happy she came to Little Rock Animal Village a few weeks ago after she was found wandering around town. Shelter manager Tracy Rowark set out to find the dog's owner. My job is to reunite families. She got a tip to the

shelter

from a breeder who believed the dog was part of her litter. She helped the shelter manager get a list of names they had. bought dogs from him which let the manager know that someone was missing his pet, not only is he a unique breed but he also had some aggressive tendencies towards strangers last week a man came forward showing proof of ownership through photographs and documents and the manager says there is no doubt. the dog was happy to be with his owner the owner put his face right in this dog's face and kissed him on the top of the head uh without backing away or anything the dog didn't have a microchip and in

little

rock

most dogs They don't have to be, but Roark says it might be something he looks into.

We have laws for cats to be microchipped. Pit bulls must have a microchip. Hey, we can figure out something so that all dogs need a microchip. There is also a leash law in Little Rock. The shelter manager says the owner was identified because the dog was unleashed in the city, Ashley, thanks now if you're seeing that like Tom who thinks, hey, I should microchip my dog ​​regardless of breed, we have news tools. for you there will be a $15 microchip event in a couple of weeks it will be at the Bass Pro Shop from 11:00 to 2 on Saturday April 27
