The MSFR folks were skeptical since people who thought they had their dogs had contacted them before, but they gave their permission. A man called and the rescue folks were astounded when he provided a detailed description of the dog (down to a mole on his back). He then sent in photos and wonder of wonders, Basil was his dog! Basil, whose real name is Wizard, is 13 years old and his family had him since he was a 2-month-old pup. Wizard’s reunion with his family is especially heartwarming since we’ve found that the norm for senior dogs is to be dumped at shelters rather than caring for them. Happy life to Wizard and his loving family!
