A Clarks Hill, S.C., pet lost after a wreck two weeks ago was reunited with his family this afternoon.

Joker, a 7-year-old Labrador retriever, ran away after he and his owner, Jacob Kramer, were involved in a wreck on Washington Road Jan. 20. Police said Mr. Kramer’s Nissan Titan flipped onto its side in front of The Pizza Joint after being struck by a car turning left onto Old Evans Road.

Joker, who witnesses said was bleeding from the mouth, ran away. Mr. Kramer said his family posted fliers in the Evans area and visited areas where people reported seeing Joker.

Mr. Kramer said his dog has been frequenting the backyard of a Northwood Estates home off North Belair Road for a few days. He’s been visiting Joker every morning, but the dog was scared and wouldn’t let anyone approach him.

This morning, the homeowner was able to get close enough to leash Joker and return him to the Kramers.

Mr. Kramer said he took Joker directly to a veterinarian, who said the dog appeared a little underweight but otherwise healthy.
