"A Hollywood ending that is too long to explain in a tweet, but would be the sweetest tweet ever tweeted in the history of tweeting," Stoughton Police tweeted last week. The heartfelt reunion between Niejadlik and Rex took place at the Stoughton Police Department. The department posted that Niejadlik told them Rex enjoyed meeting her kids and was "treated to a day of beauty."
The Facebook post concluded with Carlos sharing the importance of pet owners using microchips on their pets."This reunification is one for the ages and wouldn’t have happened without this technology!!" the post read.
