Missing mutt reunited after 9 years and 1200 miles

Muffy, a fluffy Australian mutt, was found 1200 miles from home in Australia, 9 years after the dog disappeared from her home in Brisbane. According to the AP:

Inspectors with the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals were investigating a possible animal cruelty case at a home in the southern city of Melbourne two weeks ago when they found the fluffy white mutt sleeping outside on a scrap of cardboard, Victoria state RSPCA spokesman Tim Pilgrim said.

Muffy was identified via a microchip in her neck. She has been under treatment by the RSPCA for fleas, but is expected to be well enough to fly back to her home next week. Muffy was originally a gift for owner Natalie Lampard's then-17-year-old daughter.
