Implanted microchip helps reunite dog lost in 1996 with owner
A Florida dog has been reunited with its owner six years after it went missing thanks to a microchip implanted under its skin.
A woman in Cincinnati found Pooh Bear looking dirty and matted and took the dog to her vet, Cheryl Devine.
Dr Devine scanned the chip and found out about her owner Bambi Lesne of Panama City - 620 miles away.
Ms Lesne gave up searching for Pooh after three years. "She went everywhere with us. She was like one of my children," she said.
She says the 13-year-old black Pomeranian "howled with joy" when they arrived home and it saw her daughter Codi.
The dog was handed over in Birmingham, Alabama, the Miami Herald reports.
