Couple In Shock After Learning Where This “Stray” Dog Actually Came From

Reading the Tag

Upon closer inspection, Jack wiped the tag clean, revealing a name and phone number. “Max,” the tag read, followed by a set of numbers. Maria's heart sank a little, realizing that Buddy—who they had grown attached to—might actually belong to someone else. The couple sat silently for a moment, contemplating what to do next. Should they call the number? What if Buddy had been lost for a long time? Their minds raced with questions.

A Difficult Decision

After some thought, Jack and Maria agreed that they needed to call the number on the tag. As much as they loved Buddy, they knew it was the right thing to do. They dialed the number, and after a few rings, a tired voice answered. “Hello?” The voice on the other end sounded weary. Jack hesitated before speaking. “Hi, we found a dog with a tag that has this number. His name is Max, I believe?” There was a long pause.
