FALL RIVER, Mass. - A dog lost in Connecticut a year ago is finally home after having been trucked to El Paso, Texas, and sold at a swap meet for $50.
Tomeka came home Tuesday night, a little thin and with knotted, bleached-out fur, but still furiously wagging her tail — a testament to her good-natured demeanor.
“I can’t believe she’s home,” said owner Mary Charette, a day after she picked up the Yorkshire terrier at the cargo section of Logan Airport where the pup arrived via Continental Air. “It’s like a missing piece came home.”
Tomeka was just 6 months old when she went missing at a truck stop in Connecticut last August. Her owners, Mary and Paul Charette, had stopped their RV at a McDonald’s there on the way to Virginia to visit their daughter. The Charettes believe a trucker picked up the dog after she got out of the RV. Once Paul and Mary discovered Tomeka missing, they searched the area for four hours.
