Julio and Sam were, of course, completely devastated.
They continued to look for Duke for months, but they couldn’t find a trace of their beloved dog.
“For a while I was really going outside of the area, hoping that, and driving slow and hoping that I could see his head pop up over a fence or something like that,” Julio told Fox 25.
But fast forward two years to March 2016, and that’s when farmer David Walker got a surprise at his farm in Navasota, Texas.
There was a big dog, a Great Dane, outside his house.
“It was just so amazing,” says David told Fox 25.
Duke had made it almost 60 miles from his home. Because Duke was chipped, David was able take him to a vet and find out who his owners were.
Soon, it was time for Julio and Sam to reunite with their best friend!
