North Andover, Massachusetts: A dog that disappeared after the chaos of the natural gas explosions and fires in Massachusetts a year ago is back in the arms of its owner.
###
Altagracia Baldera tells The Eagle-Tribune that when the explosions shook the Merrimack Valley in September 2018, she evacuated her North Andover apartment and went to her sister’s house in Lawrence.
###
On her second day there, her 14-year-old Pekingese-Shih Tzu mix named Virgo bolted out the door. She informed animal control and put posters up.
###
Then a few days ago, some boys found a small, shaggy dog on the street and reported it to police.
###
Baldera and Virgo, who was microchipped, were reunited Tuesday.
###
She thinks someone took Virgo in because she doesn’t believe he could have survived the winter outside.
