How far would you go for your pet? Would you travel around 1,000 miles to reunite with your pet if you had lost him? Well, one man was willing to and it was quite the emotional reunion.
20. Texas
Dara Prak is a Texas resident who is absolutely in love with his pit bull, Titan. Titan and Dara have been absolutely inseparable since the pair were brought together.
19. Puppy Love
Dara first got Titan when he was only a tiny puppy. The young man immediately fell in love with the pup and their connection was very strong. Their bond was unbreakable and Dara felt like he met his best friend.
18. One Year
Dara had Titan for one year when tragedy struck the pair. In March 2018, Titan disappeared and Dara couldn’t find him anywhere. It was horribly upsetting…
17. Vanished
It seems that Titan just vanished into thin air. The only thing that was remaining was his collar, which was lying on the ground. However, the collar was a very important clue for one big reason!
16. Collar
When Dara stepped out into the backyard he immediately noticed that the collar was lying on the ground. This led Dara to suspect one thing only: Titan had been stolen.
15. Heartbroken
Dara was completely heartbroken when he realized that Titan was nowhere to be found. He had searched for him everywhere but it became obvious the dog was long gone. Not willing to give up, Dara came up with a new plan.
14. Facebook Posts
Dara wanted to do everything that he could to find his lost dog. He began writing up Facebook posts about the situation and shared them with his friends. He hoped that someone out there would have some answers.
13. Shelters
Another action that Dara took was to head over to the many animal shelters in the area. He would ask if any new dogs had been brought in. He would then give them Titan’s and leave his information before going to the next shelter.
12. Always
Dara also did something else that no one knew about. He would keep Titan’s collar and leash with him at all times just in case he came across the dog. Time started to quickly pass by…
11. Three Months
Soon, three months passed by and there were still no signs of Titan. Dara was starting to slowly lose hope that he would ever be reunited with his best friend. It was a harsh reality to face.
10. Phone Call
Then one day, the most unexpected phone call came through to Dara. It was from a shelter in South Carolina. The shelter called Dara asking him if he was missing a dog!
9. Discovery
Dara immediately answered the call with a resounding, “Yes!” The shelter worker explained that they had found a horribly skinny dog walking along the road. Once they scanned his microchip they found out who he belonged to.
8. Far Trip
“I got that phone call and knew. I just knew I had to get to South Carolina,” Prak told ABC News. “It was about 16 hours with stops. I just can’t wait to see him. I can’t wait to see him. We’re going to be back together. He’s home. He’s my baby.”
7. Heading Out
No distance was too far to separate a man from his best friend. Despite it being such a long trip, Dara and his girlfriend hopped into the car and began to make their drive over. They wanted to get there as soon as possible.
6. The Moment
Finally, Dara and his girlfriend reached the animal shelter. Dara couldn’t contain his excitement. He was finally going to be reunited with his best friend in the world!
5. The Reunion
“I never lost hope in finding him,” said Prak. “I just didn’t know it would be in South Carolina.” The two were reunited and it was incredibly overwhelming for both of them. There was a lot of emotions in the air.
4. Overwhelmed
In a video recorded of the moment, you can see that both Dara and Titan were overwhelmed by the moment when they saw each other again. However, Titan once again showed his true colors and his tail began to immediately wag when he saw Dara.
