Issy's owner had given up hope of ever finding her
Bichon Frisé Issy and her twin brother Diego were stolen in May 2022 when they were four months old, leaving owner Isabella Roden devastated.
The dog lover had given up hope of ever finding them again but she was left stunned when she received a phone call from Nigel Devine from the Mid and East Antrim BoroughCouncil enforcement officers were alerted to a stray dog in Ballymena last week, and on scanning the dog’s microchip, they realised that Issy had been reported stolen last year.“Since then I have done nothing but think of my Issy coming home.
"Seeing the photos of her that Nigel sent has put my emotions all over the place and I still have hope that Issy’s brother Diego may also one day be returned to me.Nigel was able to reunite Issy with Isabella in person on Saturday with the assistance of P&O Ferries, but not before a luxury pamper session from a local dog groomer.
He has also urged dog owners to make sure that both their dog licence and microchip details are up to date and that if their pet is stolen, they report it to both the local police and the microchip company. He said: “I was delighted to be able to bring Issy back home to Isabella who was just so amazed and thankful to get her wee dog back after all this time.but it just shows how important it is to microchip pets and to report it immediately should they be lost or stolen.
