Video: Family Reunited with Missing Dog After Tragic Car Crash

The dog went missing during a crash that killed the family's father.

Madison, OH (WKYC) - Just days after a tragic car accident last week, a mother and her daughters were reunited with their missing dog.

The reunion was captured on camera by Vanessa Petrosky of Remi's Pet Recovery.

Petrosky learned on Facebook that the family's dog, Max, was missing following a fatal car crash in Ashtabula County on May 3.

Sam Hedjuk, 33, of Madison, was killed in the crash along state Route 84 in Harpersfield Township. His wife, Courtney Hedjuk, 33, suffered broken bones and internal bleeding, but is expected to make a full recovery.

The couple's dog went missing in the crash, but was later found by Petrosky, who operates a recovery group that helps to capture missing pets and reunite them with their families.

Days after the crash, Petrosky recorded the reunion on her cell phone when she returned Max to the couple's two daughters. See the reunion in the video player above.

A GoFundMe account has been set up to help the family.
