A dog has been reunited with her owner in Kentucky after she was found hundreds of miles away in Michigan nearly three years after being stolen, WOOD in Michigan reported.
The dog, Cassie, was stolen from Venes Mosier’s Kentucky home in a burglary just before Christmas 2017, according to the report. Mosier had been in the hospital at the time, and returned home to find someone had taken her three dogs and many of her possessions.

One of Mosier’s dogs was found in Illinois a year later, according to the report. Another is still missing. But on Sept. 17, animal control officers in Cass County, Mich., received a report of a dog wandering alone. They found the dog and scanned her microchip, which identified Mosier as the owner.
