Twelve years old, gray in the face — and she still remembered the one human who mattered.

A man lost track of his late dad's beagle for 10 years. Then a Florida rescue scanned her microchip.

Chris Becker's father owned a beagle named Rosie, who stayed with his father's girlfriend in Maryland after his father died more than a decade ago. Becker lost touch with both over the years until this summer, when iHeart Dog Rescue in Florida called him — a woman had surrendered Rosie, and her microchip traced back to him. He flew to Pompano Beach and reunited with the now-12-year-old dog, who he barely recognized until he saw her eyes. He also adopted Storm, an emaciated shelter dog, and returned to Maryland with two.
