Gallegos, who suffers from epilepsy, said she had not experienced a seizure in two years, thanks in part to her dog.
However, after burglars broke into her home and allowed Ginger to get out, the seizures returned.
"I have a feeling in my heart that she's alive and trying to find her way home," Rosalia said in January. "I want Ginger to come home."
On Monday morning, Rosalia finally got her wish, as Ginger was returned home to her, safe and sound.
According to the girl's mother, Lydia Barrientos, Ginger had been under the care of someone who found her several months ago, and was living just four miles away.
After the person took Ginger to get spayed, the dog's microchip revealed its true owner.
"The person that found her took her to the vet, and they scanned her, so the microchip said that she had been reported missing," Barrientos said. "I called the man who had her, and he agreed to meet me after work to return Ginger."
As for Rosalia's epileptic seizures, Barrientos said they disappeared once again after the family got another dog a few months ago. The family said they will now keep both dogs.
