The dog not the singer.
There are many things that our dogs do that are inexplicable to us humans.
Such was the case of Sinatra who some 18 months ago disappeared from his Brooklyn home.
Prior to that, in November, 2015, he was a pup when there was a tragic gun accident causing his owner, Zion, to be killed. Zion was 16 at the time.
I have this theory that Sinatra was so deeply disturbed by the loss of Zion but had to grow up before he could run off.
He ended up in Tampa, Florida.
Let me quote from the New York Post.
A blue-eyed husky — who turned up outside Tampa, Florida, 18 months after he ran away from home — will be reunited with his family in Brooklyn on Monday.
The 5-year-old, brown-and-white pup, named after the famed crooner, inexplicably turned up 1,200 miles from Canarsie around Nov. 6 and was taken in by the Verrill family.
They were able to hunt down Sinatra’s owner in Brooklyn, Lesmore Willis, who burst into tears when he heard his beloved family pet had been found.
On Sunday evening, friends of the Verrill family made their way from Florida to the Baltimore area to hand off Sinatra to a pal of Willis’, Glen O’Gilvie, who lives there. O’Gilvie will then drive the dog to New York, he told The Post on Monday.
CBS This Morning published a video of the event.
Just a lovely outcome, albeit one that doesn’t change the fact that dear, young Zion is never coming back!

A great outcome. Terrific name for a husky!

Yes, it’s a good outcome, Susan. But as long as they accept that Sinatra may still have some issues over the loss of Zion.

Hmmm. On the surface a nice story of reunion. But look at Sinatra’s face upon being returned. It is anxious and lots of lip smacking and whites of eyes showing (whale eye). He is stressed. Maybe it’s just all the media attention, but he doesn’t look so happy to be back.
What a handsome dog he is… I hope they are good to him. 🐕❤️🌱

Happy for Sinatra that he was reunited but sad that another young boy has lost his life. I hope Sinatra’s return makes for some healing of the family.

Yes, I hope so as well! Me thinks that Sinatra will mourn for Zion for a very long time!
