In January, Mark left his dog with his dad in Virginia because he couldn’t have a dog at his home in Myrtle Beach.

But a short time later “Bucky” went missing and set out on a 500 mile journey to find Wessells. The dog was taken in by a family in Carolina Forest that brought him into an animal hospital in the Grand Strand. When they learned “Bucky” was microchipped. they called Wessells.

How “Bucky” made it to South Carolina is still anyone’s guess.
