For eight months, Rocco hoped that Jack would return. His mom, Romi, toldThe Dodo:

I can't explain how much Rocco cried and missed him for all those months. But he always believed that Jack would reappear.

Despite his certainty, his beloved dog hasn't turned up despite the months of waiting and searching.

That was until the beginning of June.Rocco had a dream that Jake came home. Just one week later, a family friend spotted a dog wandering near a gas station that looked suspiciously like the missing canine.He immediately called Romi.

I told Rocco that I had a gift for him. When I called him to the front yard and he saw his friend Jack, I felt he was reborn. He kept saying, 'I knew it.'

There incredible reunion was posted on Facebook and swiftly went viral amassing almost 900,000 views.

Tens of thousands of dogs and cats end up in shelters each year, either due to neglect, abuse or abandonment. Consider adopting before you shop, and visit your local shelters before going to a breeder. Every dog and cat deserves a fair chance at a forever home.If you live in England, you can visit the RSPCA, and if you live in the United States, you can visit the ASPCA to get more information about pets available for adoption.
