Losing a pet is tough, especially when you’re young. Sadly, the odds of reuniting with a lost pet are rarely in your favor. But Nicole Grimes from Pennsylvania was one of the lucky ones. She was forced to give her dog Chloe up when she was a just little girl. But years later, fate brought them together again and the whole internet was left scratching their heads…and shedding a couple of tears.
