A 3 year old Staffie-cross, has been reunited with it's owners, after going missing last September.
He was found on the outskirts of Stamford, which is more than 80 miles from the Birchfield area of Birmingham where his owners live.
The young dog, Diesel was left in an enclosed garden at his owners house, when she went on the school-run, but was nowhere to be found when she returned.
The family reported him missing the next day after searching the area without success.
Julie Ebanks, the owner said they had never given up hope of getting Diesel back and it was the best early Christmas present they could have wished for.
He was collected by her son, Juebe, on Friday (Nov 27).
She said:
“We jumped with joy when we received the call from the council to say Diesel had been found.
“We phoned everyone to let them know he was coming home.”
Diesel had been micro-chipped and that made the reunion possible.
The woman who found him contacted SKDC who arranged for him to be collected by a dog warden.
He was checked for a micro-chip, which provided details of his owners.
