Where are my " lost " dogs Dottie and Mindy ?

" Dottie " and " Mindy "

10 Years After She Went Missing, A Black Lab Is Returned To Her Owners

This is a touching story for any pet owner who has ever " lost " a dog.
"I was like, 'Abby?' I said, 'I haven't seen her for 10 years,' " Suierveld says.

Once she rejoined their family, it was almost like she'd never left. "

About a year ago my woman companion ,Dorene R- then at Hope Hospice in Providence, Rhode Island, dying of liver cancer( spread from breast cancer ) had to give up her two beloved lap dogs " Dottie " and " Mindy " .

 " Our girls " we called them. We were happy that the Providence Rescue League on Elbow St. found a home - the same home - for the two adored pets. Dorene cried about them to the end ( April , 2017 ).

I also bonded with " Dottie " and " Mindy ". Now I would just like to know where they are and how they are . But for some reason there are bureaucratic obstacles to this.

There is a video of me talking with them in their cage at the Animal Shelter. Dorene gave me a blanket and some toys to put in their cage. Seeing me and my nephew , " Dottie " and " Mindy " began to bark . " Let us out of here ! " I imagined them thinking. Then ALL the dogs in the shelter began to bark . But we had to leave them there.

How wonderful it would be if I could see them again -just briefly - and hear them barking again as if Dorene and I never made that sad trip to Elbow St., Providence.

Last year I got a Valentine's card from Dorene, Dottie, and Mindy.
