Cocoa, an almost 16-year-old blind, deaf toy poodle, was reunited with her family Tuesday after good Samaritans on social media helped track down the lost dog.
She made it all the way to Belchertown, M.A. from Concord, N.C.
Clayton Animal Control said a couple from Massachusetts found her without a dog tag while traveling through North Carolina. They gave the dog to a shelter in Massachusetts.
Animal control officers in Belchertown posted about Cocoa online, trying to find the owner. Clayton Animal Control officer, Angie Lee, connected the dots after seeing a post on "North Carolina Lost & Found Pets" Facebook group.
Tuesday Cocoa was reunited with her owner, 24-year-old Toby Brooks, who's had the dog ever since he was nine years-old.
A non-profit group, Pilots N Paws, flew Cocoa from Massachusetts to Johnson County on Sunday.

Glad they found her.
You miss your dogs?
Where are they, did they die?
If they did; don't be a dumb ass like I was.
When my old Rawlly died, I told myself I didn't want to put my self through that again, to emotionally painful.
STUPIDEST thing I ever told myself, waited 5 years before I worked up the courage to go to the pound to even look.
When I finally did, I found JACK, he's been my Good Old Boy for the last 18 years, if I had waited another 14 days he would have been gone forever.
I know how hard it can be to fill that hole they leave when they die, but there are a lot of Good Boys and Girls out there that are just looking for someone to care.
A little bit of love and 3 squares a day; CAN BUY UNDIEING LOVE AND LOYALTY.
So; don't be a dumb ass like I was, go out and find a loyal partner today.
