Video: Man finds lost dog at Jacksonville Mega Pet Adoption event

A man was reunited with his lost dog Saturday at a Jacksonville pet adoption event.

The man's dog, Daisy, came to a Jacksonville animal shelter as a stray around Thanksgiving.

The man said he and his family searched for Daisy for weeks after his son accidentally left a gate open.

Then, the family's babysitter saw Daisy on the animal care and protective services website.

The man rushed to the Mega Pet Adoption event to get her back.

Jennie Clutterbuck said her heart broke every time she walked by Daisy's kennel because Daisy looked so sad.

Clutterbuck said Daisy was terrified at the shelter, but when she looked over at her during the adoption event, she was jumping all over.
