GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Truck driver John Withers admits he cried like a little girl when his dog ran away.
So the Georgia man didn't hesitate to make the 1,000 drive to Oconto County, Wis., when he heard his beloved pet had been found eight months later.
He said he didn't cry but he was very happy when he was reunited with Sir Charles Nugget, a 4-year-old chow mix.
Nugget ran away last summer when Withers was making a delivery in Lena, Wis. Since then, plenty of people spotted the dog and left food for it but no one could catch it.
The local animal control officer called Withers to tell him a dog that had been hanging around town lately looked like it could be Nugget. It turns out it was.
Withers said he's grateful to everyone who had a part in the happy ending.
I'd do it too.
