A mixed breed Labradoodle named Teddy ran away from his owner’s home over a month ago in Southington Connecticut.

Gary Grindle who is the owner of the dog named Teddy who is four years of age ran away from his home. Gary managed to use the power of social media to bring attention to locate the dog shortly after the event happened.
A volunteer group named “Connecticut Doggone Recovery” was hired by Gary and his wife to assist them in locating “Woody” who ran away from his owner since the Grindle’s home was being worked on by a contractor. Woody did not like being around the noise inside the home.
The Grindle family was amazed that their community banded together to try to find Woody. Since Woody was not located in the early days after his disappearance, the hopes of seeing him alive were getting faint each passing day.
Eventually Woody was located in Bristol Connecticut when Tiffany De Jesus and her two children who saw Woody outside of their home. They brought him inside their home.
When Tiffany saw the dog tag on Woody, she called via a telephone call to tell Gary the good news that Woody was staying with her family.
Gary then traveled from Southington Connecticut to Bristol to reunite with his dog. Gary then rewarded the generosity of Tiffany by paying her a check for an undisclosed amount to say “Thank you” for finding his dog safe and sound.
Woody then visited a veterinarian who took care of the dog inside his office.Woody had a few ticks on his coat and was a little bit underweight for being out on the road for over one month.
Even though social media sites get a bad image for censoring certain viewpoints of the news events, the power of social media assisted Gary Grindle to get his wonderful pet back to his home in 33 days.
Another happy ending. And learn that we are all much stronger.
Are all these dogs named Woody? At any rate, I am glad they were reunited
Excellent point you have there Alex.
Just wondering if Woody is the new Spot…
Woody could be the new Spot.
Spot has long been the preferred name for dogs
Another wonderful story! I agree with you, social media is like everything else: what matter is how you use it.
My pleasure to share these wonderful reunited stories.
Great efforts and results! For me, this is a depiction of an interconnectedness, in this case by social media, while we are indeed connected to everything as one.
That is the good thing of social media. It unites the people for a good cause.
A beautiful story about a dog with dogged determination!
Thank you PaulPaliazola for the kind comments.
What a heartwarming story. My dog ran away and never came back, shortly after losing my son. All stories do not have a happy ending.
I know the saying “Not all real life stories have happy endings” Sorry for your losses.
that is a GREAT story I am glad to know they found their family pet
it’s so sad to lose a family loved one & have no clue where they went
& what they are dealing with & if they’re still alive & safe till they’re found.
My pleasure to share some good news on this site.
