Muffy the Micro Chipped dog

Muffy, an Australian dog that was lost for nine years turned up in Brisbane, almost 2000 miles away from where she used to live! Watch the video after the jump.

When she was found by the RSPCA Muffy was looking quite the worse for wear, a flea bitten bag of bones, with a bad skin condition. When the RSPCA noticed she was micro chipped they tracked down the owners.

“It’s amazing that the original owners had microchipped her as it wasn’t that common nine years ago and it is amazing that she had come 2,000 km from home,” Pilgrim told Reuters.


The owners were delighted to finally get their dog back. “They were initially shocked and confused, but when we mentioned the name Muffy – which is part of the microchip information – and gave them a description of her, they knew it was their pet lost so many years ago.” said the RSPCA.

Muffy is being flown home, VIP-style, later this week.
Let that be a lesson to all of us dog lovers to get our dogs micro chipped asap!
