JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — A Pyrenees mix named Apollo is back home in Florida after a journey that took him to the Boston area.
Cynthia Abercrombie tells the Florida Times-Union there were times over the past six weeks that she thought she’d never see Apollo again.
But nearly two dozen volunteers helped return Apollo to Abercrombie, who couldn’t afford a 1,100-mile trip to Massachusetts to pick him up.
No one knows how Apollo, who escaped from his enclosure in August, got to Boston. An animal control officer found him and a microchip helped officials locate Abercrombie and White started looking for ways to get him home.
Mary Ellen House of East Coast Paws arranged for a relay of drivers to take Apollo home.
