After days of worry, tears, and even accusations of fraud, the NT$500,000 missing dog at the center of Taiwan’s biggest pet search is finally home. Mei-chi, a beloved mixed-breed dog whose disappearance sparked a massive online hunt and a hefty reward from her desperate owner, has been found safe and sound. The emotional reunion came after a neighbor spotted the runaway pup chilling in his yard, sending owner Ms. Chen rushing over to embrace her longtime companion at last.

The NT$500,000 escapee, Mei-chi the dog has at long last been reunited with her owner, Ms. Chen. After a neighbor reported seeing the pupper, Ms. Chen rushed out to their house for a tearful reunion, embracing her beloved friend without even taking off her helmet.

Ms. Chen
Mei-chi’s owner
I’m so grateful to every kind soul who offered to help out, and refused the reward. They knew what I was going through. And to all the haters I’d just like to say… you are despicable! We shouldn’t waste everyone’s time when there are people with good intentions making an effort.

Ms. Chen was offering a generous reward of NT$500,000 for her dog. But the high figure brought forth accusations that she was a scammer, and her phone rang off the hook with harassment. With Mei-chi found, and haters proven wrong, Ms. Chen broke down in tears of relief.

Ms. Chen
Mei-chi’s owner
Of course it wasn’t a scam! Why would I scam anyone! I was hoping that none of it was real. Thank goodness I found her.

Mei-chi was like family for Ms. Chen, who raised the mixed-breed dog for 12 years since she was a puppy. The dog went missing on Sunday, and roamed the streets alone for two nights, until a neighbor found her chilling in his yard on Tuesday morning.

Mr. Liao
Found Mei-chi
It was about 8 or 9. I took a photo and sent it on the group chat, to tell them I found her. I won’t accept the money in full. Just a small amount is enough.

- Thank you so much!
- It was nothing.
- Really, thank you!
- We’re all family.
- It must be fate. We were classmates and now we meet again.

Mr. Liao’s daughter is apparently classmates with Ms. Chen’s husband, and their families have long lived near each other. Though he says he doesn’t want the full reward, Ms. Chen says she will definitely keep her promise and give him the full amount.
