When Barry Gearhart’s pit bull, Titan, got lost, he was heartbroken. That’s why, when he found out that Titan was at an animal shelter, he went straight there to get him.
This man had lost his dog about a year prior. He traveled to West Palm Beach, Florida with Titan, his customary companion. Then, he got right out of his vehicle and left his dog for a few moments after parking his truck right on the side of the road.
Titan was no longer in the truck when he returned. He looked everywhere for the pit bull but couldn’t find him. His pet was kidnapped right from his car.
Gearhart was always on the lookout for Titan. When he thought of his best friend, he grieved every day. And after months of searching for him, he gave up hope of ever seeing him again.
Titan, unbeknownst to him, ended up in an animal shelter months after he vanished. How the dog made its way to the shelter are unclear, but he was well cared after by the shelter workers once he got there.
Titan had a slim chance of being adopted because he was a senior dog. To improve his chances of adoption, the shelter allowed him to participate in socialization training. Nobody came to get him, though. The shelter had no choice except to schedule the dog’s euthanasia.
Gearhart attempted to locate his dog again around the same time. He shared Titan’s photographs on Facebook.
One of the photographs caught the attention of a shelter staff, who immediately recognized the dog. Gearhart was contacted by the shelter, who informed him that his dog had been found. Titan was to be euthanized in two days, so they begged him to come as soon as possible.
Gearhart made his way to the animal shelter right away. He found his best pal inside a kennel.
Titan whined and barked when he saw his fur dad. He appeared to be eager to get out of there and return home. Gearhart was overjoyed when this happened especially since he knew that he found Titan in the nick of time.
They’re back together at home now, and they’re enjoying each other’s company.
