Pets are not just animals, they become real family members. And when something happens to them, it is as painful as if something happened to a person.

A Californian resident Robert, who asked that his last name be withheld, had a dramatic event in 2012. His beloved cat Chebon went missing. The man even postponed his relocation to Ohio in hope of finding his pet.

"I remember praying one day and saying, 'God, I'll do anything, just bring me back Chebon.'"

But time passed and the search yielded no results. After a year of unsuccessful attempts, Robert gave up hope. This is where the story could have ended if it had not been for a kind woman.

The cat was dehydrated and malnourished due to living on the streets, but all in all, he was surprisingly healthy. The cat had a microchip, and when it was scanned, it turned out that the pet was 19 years old and his owner was Robert. It was Chebon!

Robert was worried that there had been some kind of mistake. He went immediately to the shelter where the cat was.
