Gucci Sneaks Out the Back Gate
2-year-old Miniature Schnauzer Gucci had lived with his family from puppyhood.

One day after an afternoon out, the family got a call from HomeAgain to let them know that Gucci had been found. This was puzzling news. As far as they knew, Gucci was safe at home, but when they got home they noticed that the lock on the backyard fence was open.

“We had been out doing yard work the day before,” says Gucci’s dad. “We
figured what had happened was that we had not quite latched the gate. At some point the wind blew it open or Gucci bumped up against it and
it opened just enough. Then [the gate] closed back behind him so he couldn’t get
back in.”

Thankfully, the family didn’t have to worry because Gucci was safe and sound, thanks to his microchip information being up to date.

“We’re very grateful to the HomeAgain for contacting us so we could get him home safely,” says Gucci’s dad.
