Myrna Carrillo lost her dog in 2006. While she never forgot him, she certainly never expected to see him again after five years and moving four times.
Carrillo and Prince are now getting reacquainted. It's been five long years since Prince went missing from Carrillo's mom's house. She got the shitzu when he was just a puppy and had him for three years. "I was really attached to him, so ever since then I thought about him, and we talked about if we were ever to see him again," said Carrillo.
Carrillo lived at home and was not married when she lost Prince. Since then she's moved four different times, all around town. Yet somehow, Carrillo came home from work Wednesday and found the dog on her doorstep. She had to do a double take. "I thought I was seeing something! I just hope no one is playing a prank on me."
It sounds hard to believe, but looking at the pictures of Prince, it's hard to deny the resemblance. "It would be hard to believe it wasn't him," said Carillo's husband Refugio Carrillo.
Carrillo said not only did they all recognize Prince, but he recognized them. She said she left him outside overnight and he never left her doorstep. Carrillo's two boys are already getting as attached to Prince as their mom once was.
The family said especially after the journey he must have taken to find them, Prince is destined to become one of the family.
