Dog Reunites With Master After 10 Years

By on 8:30 AM

After 10 long years, Ginger the basset hound is reunited with her original dad in Nashua
Carpentier and Ginger
When Jamie Carpentier divorced with his wife 10 years ago, little did he knew that he would also lose custody of his Basset Hound, Ginger. After his former spouse got the puppy, she had the dog given up to a local animal shelter without Carpentier's knowledge.

The pup was soon adopted by an older couple who cared for her until they couldn't anymore. Ginger was once again sent to an animal shelter.

That's when Carpentier happened to check the listing of adoptable dogs on the Humane Society for Greater Nashua, N.H. He read about a Basset named Ginger. The dog is about the same age as the pup he once lost. After seeing the pictures, a connection was made.

Carpentier arrived at the shelter as Ginger was waking up from a nap. Her eyes lit up when she heard her former master's voice. Immediately, she ran to Carpentier and gave him a couple of licks and kisses.

"She knows who I am, she remembers my voice," Carpentier said.
