St. Louis, MO, July 27, 2026 —
A dog that disappeared from Lincoln, Nebraska, more than five years ago has been reunited with its owners. The dog, named Chong, was discovered in Indiana, a distance of approximately 642 miles from his original home.
The reunion was made possible through the identification provided by Chong’s microchip. The microchip allowed authorities or animal welfare personnel in Indiana to trace the dog back to its family in Nebraska.
Details regarding the circumstances of Chong’s disappearance and how he ended up in Indiana were not provided. The timeline of his journey over the past five years also remains unknown. The microchip, however, served as the critical link in reconnecting the long-lost pet with his family.
The distance of 642 miles highlights the significant journey Chong undertook during his time away from home. The reunification marks the end of a five-year period of separation for the family and their pet.
