A dog who disappeared in California nine months ago has been miraculously found in Michigan, more than 3,770 miles away from her home to the delight of the people who have her, it was announced yesterday, Thursday.

Mishka, a terrier breed dog, had disappeared in July without a trace from her home in San Diego, near the Mexican border.

A dog missing in California since the summer has turned up more than 2,000 miles away in suburban Detroit.

The director of the animal welfare group that tracked down Mishka’s owners said the pooch was likely stolen, then sold, and ended up in Michigan. https://t.co/QSE4lQNzsq pic.twitter.com/johPLAiC3q

She was found a few days ago in Harper Woods in suburban Detroit, on the Canadian border, after crossing the U.S. diagonally, traveling nearly 4,000 kilometers.

A local animal shelter was able to identify her thanks to the electronic chip she was carrying and contacted the people who have her, who immediately went to pick her up.

“This is a story that Hollywood would dream of making into a movie,” the animal shelter said on Facebook, where it has posted photos of the unexpected reunion.

At the moment it is not ascertained how Mishka managed to travel all this distance.
