Adog that went missing in California nine months ago has been reunited with its owners after being found walking the streets of a Detroit suburb more than 2,000 miles away.
The terrier-mix, called Mishka, was picked up by police, who took her to an animal shelter last week, following a report of a stray dog near Harper Woods, Michigan.
Staff at the Grosse Pointe Animal Adoption Society found she had a microchip, which identified her owners as living 2,343 miles away in San Diego.
Mishka vanished last July from a workplace and it is unclear how she had travelled so far.
Owners Mehrad and Liz Houman were on holiday in Minneapolis when staff from the shelter called and immediately drove 10 hours to Michigan to collect their pet.
While both the journey to Michigan and who cared for her remain a mystery, the family reported that she has learned a new trick during her time away. Mishka can now sit on command.
