BOSTON -- After four long years, Milady, a small cocker spaniel, was reunited with her owner who has been desperately searching for the dog.


The owner, Sandra Castillo, was reunited with her dog after Milady spent weeks being groomed and nursed back to health by the veterinary team at the MSPCA.

MSPCA said when Milady arrived at their center in June, she was underweight and plagued with infections.

They described Milady as an upbeat dog, though her fur was matted and yellowed from laying in her own waste, her nails had grown back into her paws and her ears were infected and sealed shut.

The dog and her owner were separated in 2006 when Castillo was hospitalized for six months due to medical complications during her pregnancy. She was forced to find a new home for her pet, according to the MSPCA.

Though she tried to keep in touch with the new owners, Castillo lost touch with them in 2007, a year after relocating her pet, according to the MSPCA.

On July 20, people involved with MSPCA replied to Castillo's Craigslist post about her missing dog and said the MSPCA had sent out an e-mail informing its supporters about Milady.

Hours later, Castillo applied to readopt Milady.
