A 12-year-old beagle who was found hundreds of miles away from her original home shared an emotional reunion with her late owner's son after 10 YEARS apart. Chris Becker, 59, from Sykesville, Maryland, had not seen beagle Rosie after he lost contact with her following his father Thomas’ passing. The last Chris knew, Rosie was living with Thomas’ girlfriend, but recently he received a call from iHeart Animal Rescue, in Florida, asking if he knew a Thomas Becker. When Chris said that was his father, the rescue then informed him that they had Rosie and were looking to track down her family, so Chris asked for some photos to be sent across for him to check out. Rosie looked older and grayer, Chris said, but he immediately knew it was her.
