Armando searched as long as he could, but had to get back on the road.



Eventually, Chicago police found Romeo, and rescue organizations used his microchip to track Armando down.

Romeo looked very happy to see his owner, and the reunion appeared to be emotional. Now, they're both back on the road, keeping each other company.
