A real-life version of “The Incredible Journey,” this heartwarming tale demonstrates just how loving and loyal dogs can be in the most unexpected of circumstances.
Ping An, a golden retriever, was living with her loving family in Qidong, Jiangsu, China, and seemed to be enjoying every minute of her life there.
Her family, on the other hand, informed her that she would be moving to a different location for a period of time.
Ping An’s family needed to make some repairs to their home, and in order to keep her safe while the work was being done, they decided to put her up with some of their friends for the duration of the project.
They piled their belongings into their car and drove two hours to their friend’s house to drop them off.
Ping An would be safe, secure, and well-cared for while she was there, and she would be able to return home in a matter of months after that.
Her family said their final goodbyes to their beloved daughter and returned home to begin work on the renovations.
In her new, temporary home, Ping An received all of the love and attention she required. Despite this, she couldn’t help but feel a pang of nostalgia for her hometown.
She longed for her family and couldn’t seem to get her mind off of them for long.
It took her four long months to finally admit that she couldn’t take it any longer.
As a result, she decided to leave.
Ping An’s family and friends were understandably distraught when they discovered that he had vanished. They were concerned for her well-being and worried that she might have become disoriented.
Their minds couldn’t comprehend the possibility that Ping An was actually making her way back home.
Ping An walked and walked and walked for more than two weeks straight. She had only one thought on her mind at the time: she needed to get home to her family.
Nothing could stand in her way, and by the end of the journey, she had walked more than 62 miles.
She was limping and bleeding at this point, severely malnourished, and completely exhausted at this point in the story.
She was determined to continue walking but was fortunately rescued by some caring individuals who were able to track down her owners.
Ping An was then taken to the veterinarian, where he was, fortunately, able to make a full recovery.
Her family was awestruck by her dedication and loyalty, and they promised her that she would never be sent away again.
No one or nothing is more important to Ping An than her family, and she has demonstrated just how far she is willing to go to be with them.
The fact that Ping Ann is doing well and has been reunited with her family brings us great joy, and we know that her family must feel truly blessed to have been loved so deeply by such a wonderful canine.
