I'm glad he wasn't actually abandoned and just got lost.

So cute, he ran straight to the lil boy. ❤ Nice outcome.

This woman is very respectful to those who donated to the go fund me page by advising them how to get their money back should they want to do so. So glad to see a happy ending to this story.

I'm so glad they got their pup back. You could tell they were good people.

It’s crazy how I have been watching this ever since this story started as random dog sightings with coyotes and then has slowly turned into this developed story with random turns. Glad he’s safe

Im glad he wasnt actually abandoned in purpose but just a lost pup. Also a relieve that his original family seems to be good people, when i first heard of this story i was afraid he was sent back to a bad family who purposely left him out in the desert but so glad i was wrong. 😊

You can't deny that Hades was happy to see his family. Glad he's back where he belongs. I used to live near where Hades was found. In Henderson and in Vegas If you find a lost dog it is the law that you notify animal control or turn the dog in to the shelter in case the rightful owners are searching. If you lose your dog, one of the first things you need to do is check with the shelters and do it daily. Microchipping can help. Once, we had a dog escape our yard (it can happen to anyone) a neighbor found her and because of the microchip they helped us get her back within an hour.

It's a miracle the coyotes accepted him instead of trying to eat him

I'm glad he has a good family, and is back home. 🥰🥰🥰

I'm so happy you guys are there for him thank God for having good people like this... All blessings to the family and Ghost

[superfly]

How wonderful, you can see how much they missed each other.

It’s wonderful to see that he was reunited with his family again and his medical problems are being taken care of. I don’t understand how anyone could just dumped their fur baby like they are trash. I have always considered my dogs my babies and they were spoiled. They were all rescues and at one time I had 6 of them. They lived a long comfortable life. It was devastating when they each passed away. Seeing a happy ending for the dog and the family warms my heart. God bless those that rescued him and those that finally reunited him to his loving family. The tail wagging said it all !

In 2019 my little girl Scully came from the Animal Foundation all the way up to Medicine Hat Alberta, Canada. Thank you to all the people who work & care for the animals at A.F. You gave me a little angel that makes my life whole. 💟🐕💟

So happy that this family was able to be reunited with their beloved pup Hades!

It’s also interesting that his name is Hades, but the community named him Ghost! 😮 Plus I remember in older videos about Hades, they were saying that he was likely DUMPED in the desert!

That deeply swayed the public view of this story, when in actuality he was MISSING! NOT DUMPED!😒

Really so so glad that this epic dog made it home to his people, and that he has the love and care he deserves after his Big Adventure!
This dog is EPIC!

Ghost had a power level of 310 when he lived with the family. After living with the coyotes he came back with a power level of over 8000.

Wow. This sounds just like the plot of this movie series (Homeward Bound) I watched/loved when I was little…
2 dogs and a cat thought their family was abandoning them when they were dropped off with a friend, while they went on vacation, so they escaped into the wilderness to find them … and their reunion looked like this ❤

Haiti knew his real owners/family. Love happy endings ❤
