Microchip brings dog home after 12 years

[Catherine]

Duchess the Fox Terrier slipped out and disappeared from her home in Florida. Her owner searched, but couldn't find her. She never lost hope and she continued to pay the microchip fee to keep the microchip active.
Twelve years later someone found a lost, hungry dog in Pittsburg. The dog was turned into the shelter. They checked the microchip and called the owner. Imagine their surprize to find that she had been missing from Florida for 12 years. 

Imagine the surprize of Katheryn Strang to hear that her dog had been found...in Pittsburgh.

I am sure there is an interesting story behind the lost years and 1000 miles trip. 
We will never know, but it would be amazing to know even part of it.
Think about it. She kept paying the fee for twelve years. If she hadn't done that they would not have been able to find her and bring her dog back. She deserved to get her dog back after faithfully waiting 12 years. I hope they have many happy years together now.
