BATON ROUGE \u2014 A Houston man was reunited with his dog in Baton Rouge after he spent more than a year looking for the pup.<\/p>\n
Michael Franklin adopted his dog Burken in February 2024. After the dog went missing, Franklin wondered if he would ever see Burken again.<\/p>\n
On June 5, however, Burken was taken in as a stray at Companion Animal Alliance. During the intake process, his microchip was scanned and CAA was able to quickly identify and contact Jackson.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jackson, however, did not have a way to get to Baton Rouge.\u00a0<\/p>\n
CAA helped arrange a bus trip from Houston to Baton Rouge so that Burken and Jackson could be reunited.<\/p>\n
“On June 10, the two were finally reunited after more than a year apart,” CAA said in a Facebook post. “We’re honored to have played a small part in this happy ending and are so grateful Burken and Michael are back together where they belong.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BATON ROUGE \u2014 A Houston man was reunited with his dog in Baton Rouge after he spent more…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":352404,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[125538,125535,125533,16088,125532,125536,56,58,57,125534,125537],"class_list":["post-352403","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-houston","tag-animalshelter","tag-batonrouge","tag-burken","tag-caa","tag-companionanimalalliance","tag-dogreunion","tag-houston","tag-houston-headlines","tag-houston-news","tag-michaelfranklin","tag-microchip"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/352403","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=352403"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/352403\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/352404"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=352403"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=352403"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=352403"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
