Home for the holidays: Dog reunited in Jacksonville with family after disappearing from North Carolina in 2020
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A household from North Carolina acquired a heartwarming Christmas present on Friday after two years of ready.
Nicholas Dawson and his kids reunited together with his canine Isis — a 6-year-old American Staffordshire terrier — in Jacksonville after she disappeared from her Fayetteville house again in March 2020.
“He searched throughout, posted indicators and alerted neighbors, however Isis couldn’t be discovered,” a information launch mentioned.
At 10 p.m. Tuesday, a miracle occurred. A lady mentioned she was ready for a prepare on the Tri-Rail Station close to Outside World in Dania Seashore, Florida, when a pleasant canine walked proper as much as her. It was Isis.
Fortunately, Isis had been microchipped. The chip was scanned on the Humane Society of Broward County, and workers realized that Isis was over 725 miles from her house.
The workers referred to as Dawson, and he might barely maintain again the tears of pleasure. He and his kids, ages 10 and 13, packed up the automobile and drove from North Carolina to satisfy the household who discovered Isis on Friday.
“I by no means thought I’d see her once more, so you already know, they referred to as me the opposite day, I used to be at work, and it sort of like took my breath away,” Dawson mentioned. “I used to be, like, ‘Actually?’”
Nobody is bound how Isis made it to South Florida. The one factor that issues now’s that Isis is secure and he or she’s going house for the vacations.
“I’m joyful to have her again and simply need to give her, you already know, an excellent life. I’m unsure what she was going via down right here, however I do know we’ve obtained huge plans for her again in North Carolina,” Dawson mentioned.
News4JAX needs each households a Merry Christmas and a secure drive again house.

The USC Trojans are in pursuit of flipping two class of 2025 recruits, Nela Tupou and Alex Payne. Can the Trojans flip one or both of these players before national signing day?
Nela Tupou Player Profile
Nela Tupou is a 6-4, 220 pound tight end/defensive end out of Folsom, California. He is rated as a three-star recruit and ranked as the 43rd-best ATH in the class of 2025 per 247Sports.
Tupou committed to the Utah Utes in February of 2024, but he just recently visited USC last weekend for the Trojans’ 28-20 win over the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
On3 is now predicting that Tupou will likely flip this commitment from Utah to USC.
Alex Payne Player Profile
Alex Payne is a 6-5, 265 pound offensive tackle out of Gainesville, Florida. He is rated as four-star recruit and ranked as the 16th-best offensive tackle in the class of 2025.
Payne committed to the North Carolina Tar Heels in January of 2024, but he as well as Tupou, visited USC last weekend.
In 247Sports recruiting analyst Tom Loy’s updated crystal ball prediction, he had Payne flipping his commitment from North Carolina to USC. Loy has a good track record of predicting where recruits will end up as his all-time hit rate for predicting recruits’ final destinations is 81.64 percent.
USC Bolstering Up Offensive Line to Go Along With Weapons
One of the glaring holes for the USC Trojans this season has been the offensive line. For USC to bounce back next season, they will have to get much better in the trenches. This has been exposed in their first season in the Big Ten. Landing Tupou, who can both be a factor in the run blocking scheme as a blocker, and Payne, one of the top tackle prospects in the country, would go a long way for next season and the future of the program.
Barring a flurry of transfer portal decisions, the Trojans will have an abundance of skill position talent coming back next season.
Freshman running back Quinten Joyner has been the second best back this season behind senior running back Woody marks.
Four of the Trojans five leading receivers are sophomores. Makai Lemon, Zachariah Branch, Ja’Kobi Lane, and Duce Robinson all have shown flashes of potentially being a number one wide receiver next season.
Add in the Trojans starting sophomore quarterback Jayden Maiava and they have one of the youngest teams in the Big Ten. If USC continues to address the offensive line in the last days of the 2025 recruiting cycle and in the transfer portal this offseason, the Trojans could be a dangerous team next season.
