I know , it sounds like some kind of creepy-crawly hoax , but it ’s in reality a dependable story . It get down back in 2011 when Ben and Melody Harworthadopted aone - year - old pup from the Fort Gordon Veterinary Clinic in Georgia . The Harworths are a military household , and the twain was intending for the dog to develop up with their two Logos . Unfortunately , their program were put on hold when Ben was remove to South Korea and the Harworths line up out that their Rottweiler mix , Zeus , would n’t be able to come with them .
Ben said that was the only post where the kinsfolk was post that would n’t allow pets . He read the decision to re - home Zeus was heart - wrenching and difficult for every member of their family . Eventually a friend of the family offered to take him while they were gone . still , the Harworths thought they would be reunited with their beloved pet when they came home .
They traveled to South Korea leave their canine companion behind , believe that he was in good work force . For over a year the family receive long - distance update about their dog , but in November of 2012 everything change .

Ben say the family was devastated . They thought their dear friend was deadened , but he and his married woman still felt that something was n’t right . The Harworths never spoke with the people that they trusted to handle for Zeus again . It just never felt ripe to Ben and his sept . In fact , when they returned to the states in May of 2013 , he tried to search the incident but carry on to run into stagnant end .
Bythe summerof 2015 they had come to the determination that they would never know exactly what come about to Zeus . Now , the family is hold up in Lacey , Washington , and they have adopted a Chihuahua . They may have move on , but the family still fondly remembered their cherished pal Zeus . Until one portentous summer twenty-four hour period , those memories were all they had . Then they received a earphone call that brought their “ bushed ” dog back to life .
Ben says the mortal on the other close of the phone secernate him they had his weenie Zeus . Of of course , he replied that it was impossible because his dog passed off 3 geezerhood ago . The caller told Harworth that Zeus had been taken to theBanfield Pet Hospitalin Raleigh , North Carolina . Raleigh was just a few town away from where Zeus was suppose to be stay in 2011 when the mob moved to South Korea .

A woman had find Zeus wandering around town and get him to the veterinarian ’s government agency . There , staff scannedhis microchipand it was register to Harworth . They sent him pictures , and for sure enough it was Zeus . The family was amazed ! Now they just had to count on out how to get him home .
Zeus seemed to be in good health , but was a little lethargic . After an interrogation by the vet it was discovered that the dog had heartworms . This mean he could notfly toWashington . Amazingly , Rachel Overby , a practice manager at Banfield Pet Hospital , volunteer to drive Zeus the three thousand miles home .
The Harworth ’s were blown aside . Zeus and Rachel began their grumpy - country trek on August 9 , 2015 and made lot of pit stop along the path . They told theirmicrochipping winner storyto many veterinarians along the room . On August 14 , 2015 they last get in at the Banfield Pet Hospital in Lacey , Washington for the much anticipated reunification .

The crime syndicate is even more grateful that Banfield has concur to hatch Zeus ’ treatment and get him a clean bill of wellness in the coming months . He is expect to be heartworm innocent in about three months . Of naturally , the family is now strongly advocating microchipping engineering to their acquaintance , family members , and neighbor .
