I had two Japanese Chins, a father & son. The dad kept fighting his son and my sister-in-law saw the son, Walker Texas Ranger who was 2 years old and fell in love with him. Chins are beautiful, loving dogs. Kinda rare, with pushed in faces. I reluctantly let her have him. I made her promise me if she couldn’t keep him or didn’t want to keep him for any reason to bring him back to me anytime. I loved him and only let him go to have a better life. I keep my babies till their time comes, but his dad was too old to rehome and it wasn’t fair with the fighting. Most male Chins are not fighters. They are very docile.
Four years went by and they were happy and he was happy. Thjen my ex sister-in-law got divorced from my ex brother-in-law and still wanted to keep him. One day I got a call and the lady said “Did you lose a white and black Pekinese female?” I said “I’ve never owned one” but then it dawned on me and I said, “Are you sure it’s not a male Japanese Chin?” She checked the gender and it was male. I said “Yes! It is mine!” She said she was in Jacksboro Texas and I live in Watauga. That’s a very long ways away. I made arrangements to pick him up.
I never one time heard from my ex sister-in-law. I was very upset. He was found on a busy highway like 30 to 40 miles away. I’m not sure what happened. I didn’t know if she gave him away or what?? He still had his tags on from when she got him from me 4 years ago. The lady that found him was a rescuer, thankfully. I couldn’t believe they never changed his tags.
They were the same ones with my name, address # & same rabies tag vet tag. I guess she didn’t take care of him. He also was micro chipped in my name but that’s only good if scanned. If he'd not had the tags on I may not of ever got him back home with me. By that time his dad had passed away. I had him till he passed from congestive heart failure at about 10 yrs old. Please consider this if you do have to rehome a pet that you’d take back if it didn’t work.
I don’t have a pic to show right now. It was a miracle I got him back & it was a miracle he survived. He had medical issues: asthma, collapsing trachea, seizure disorder, brachia cephalic. He had a broken pelvis. A bike fell over on him early on so it was a true miracle he survived out loose on a busy highway for how ever long. And again I’ve never- not once- heard from my ex sister-in-law.
I had him about 4 yrs after I got him back. He passed away in 2007. Rest in peace, Walker. You had an adventurous life.
