Homeward Bound


Yeah, you've probably heard this story already, but I still love it.

From the AP:
A rat terrier named Daisy that disappeared from her yard in Colorado has been reunited with her owner after showing up some 1,300 miles away in Knoxville.

Daisy, 2, was found wandering down the sidewalk on Christmas night by Tracie Crass, who assumed the 12-pound dog had slipped out of its home amid holiday festivities. Crass took the pooch to her porch and waited for its owner to come looking for it.

When no one showed up by the next day, Crass telephoned the number on Daisy’s rabies tag. She reached Daisy’s veterinarian, who contacted Daisy’s owner, Vonda Lundstrom of Aurora. With help from Knoxville’s Young-Williams Animal Center, Daisy
flew home on Wednesday.

The reunion at Denver International Airport was memorable. “She licked me. She loved on me,” Lundstrom said. “I have my baby back, that’s for sure.” Lundstrom has no ties to Knoxville and she assumes somebody stole Daisy.

Has this ever happened to you? I once had a bike stolen and it was returned. The police found it miles away in a cemetery. Yeah, I know...
