Last week, Daisy wandered up to a house in Indiana. The owners took her in and scheduled a trip to the vet. When they scanned the chip, they discovered that Daisy belonged to the Skeltons, and gave the family a call.
Katrina said she has no idea how Daisy ended up 1,200 miles away from home, but she does have some theories. Daisy sits well in a car, so Katrina thinks it’s possible she was picked up by someone traveling through Texas. It’s also possible that she was taken in by a family that lived in Texas who then moved to Indiana.
While it’s clear that Daisy was taken care of wherever she was, whoever she was staying with either never scanned her microchip or never bothered to contact the family.

Katrina said that she never thought she would need to use Daisy’s microchip, but that it ended up being a "lifesaver."

As soon as she discovered Daisy was in Indiana, Katrina and her husband immediately began planning to make the car ride from Texas to Indiana. Within a few days, they were on the road.
When they were finally reunited, Daisy seemed a bit overwhelmed. She quickly seemed to remember Katrina and her husband, however.
When she finally got home, Katrina says that Daisy immediately recognized the family’s other dog, Duke.
“They were jumping around and whining, they were so excited,” she said.

Daisy was the family’s first dog, and she was there before Katrina’s kids were born. According to Katrina, Daisy was very close with the kids, and she can’t wait to watch them reconnect. Katrina said that before they picked up Daisy, they were sure that Daisy would remember the kids, no matter how much time had passed.
“Get your pets micro-chipped,” Katrina warned. “We never thought it was something that we would need or use, but it is a lifesaver.”
