Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) - A dog that ran away from a Las Vegas home more than a decade ago has been reunited with its original owners after spending several months almost halfway across the country.
Michelle and Kipp bought Duncan, a corgi, for their two boys 11 years ago. He became their shadow and companion.
"Then one day he was gone, just disappeared," Kipp said.
They searched in shelters and put up fliers, but never heard anything about his whereabouts until just a few days ago.
"I got a call from this lady in Missouri and she says I have your dog, and I'm like 'what dog?'" Kipp says.
The woman had Duncan. Kipp explains he ended up in a valley shelter where he was adopted.
"She was an elderly lady and the dog ended up being her companion for about ten years," Kipp says.
Then that lady died, and her daughter brought Duncan to Missouri, where he escaped her house. He was picked up by another rescue group that discovered Duncan had a microchip all along. Just last night, captured on home video, Duncan was reunited with his original family.
"I never would have thought it, I never would have thought it, not in a million years," Michelle said. "But you know, life is strange, you never know what is going to happen."
