Dog returns to owner after 5 years and 850 miles

When her beagle, Rocco, squeezed himself under the backyard gate and disappeared into the streets of Queens, 5-year-old Natalie Villacis refused to believe - as her parents reluctantly told her - that she would never see the puppy again.

That was in 2003.

Last weekend, Rocco came home - after being found in Georgia. picked by TraumaMamma 3 months ago

I was expecting a 'dog found it's way home' story, but no. This dumb pooch kept walking in the wrong direction.

LOL! I know....it's like he wasn't trying to be found!!

Still a cool story, but I think the beagle was on the lam.

hmm... well this is defintely a one in a millon story. When dogs go astray it is pretty much assumed that after a couple of months, it's a done deal. Well the impossible happened. Good for the girl.
