A 15 year-old dog that went missing from a Florida woman's yard turned up on Facebook after nearly a year.

Lisa Raulerson was living in West Palm Beach, Florida in October 2020 when her 15-year-old pooch, Sparky, got out through a gate left open.

Raulerson said her family was heartbroken as weeks dragged on without Sparky.

Fast forward to Raulerson scrolling through Facebook recently -- and what popped up?! A pic of Sparky.

Sunshine State Westie Rescue said Sparky had been brought to a shelter as a stray and they stepped in to prevent the dog from being euthanized.

UPI reports that Raulerson and Sparky were reunited after 331 days apart. "I feel like a void in my heart was filled. I really do ... I wish he could talk."
