A happy ending was on the cards for one lucky dog after she was reunited with her owner less than half an hour after being found.The Association for Abandoned Animals shared the wholesome story on social media, revealing that the dog, Ivy, was quickly identified and returned to her “human father” thanks to her microchip.The rescue organisation said the reunion took less than 30 minutes, highlighting just how important microchipping can be when pets go missing.Adding an international touch to the feel-good story, the rescue marked the first successful animal rescue in Malta for the association’s French interns, who helped bring Ivy to safety.“Thankfully she was chipped and it took less than 30 minutes,” the association said.After what was hopefully only a brief adventure, Ivy was safely back where she belongs, with her family.The story also serves as a timely reminder for pet owners to ensure their animals are properly chipped and registered, as it can make all the difference when a furry friend goes missing.Share to raise awareness!•
