According to The Dodo, the homeless dog named Blue had been roaming the streets.

In early April Blue showed up at a stranger's house, seemingly looking for a safe place to rest. Soon after, someone called the Washington County Animal Shelter and reported the plight of the poor dog.

After receiving the call,  An animal control officer immediately responded to the situation, picked up the pit bull mix, and bring him back to the shelter.

It seem that Blue had been on the streets for a long time. However, Blue is friendly and loves every human he came across.

Tammy Davis, who describes Blue's personality with the Dodo, Blue is cheerful and carefree nature.  Although initially a bit reserved and not particularly fond of other dogs around him, he displayed immense affection towards people and showed great love towards the staff.

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the shelter had to implement strict measures, including closing its doors to the public and allowing visits only by appointment. Consequently, with fewer visitors, Blue spent months patiently waiting in his kennel—a circumstance that would turn out to be serendipitous.

In an attempt to showcase Blue to potential adopters, the shelter decided to share a video on their Facebook page, featuring Blue happily playing with his favorite toy. Shortly after, a comment appeared beneath the video, stating, "That's my dog."

After being missing from his Tennessee home for six months, Blue's dad embarked on a relentless search for him. However, circumstances led him to relocate to Texas, leaving him with little hope of ever being reunited with his beloved companion. That was until a friend forwarded him the Facebook video featuring Blue.

With the possibility of finding his long-lost dog within reach, the man needed to confirm the authenticity of the claim made by the individual who believed Blue was their dog. Fortunately, the confirmation came through, and now Blue is happily reunited with his dad, embarking on a new chapter together in Texas, filled with love, cuddles, and playful squeaky balls.
