MINNEAPOLIS - He's not Lassie, but a notable Twin Cities dog did end up "coming home" after escaping from a backyard in Bloomington Tuesday.

Delsin, a 9-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog was reunited with his owner Wednesday afternoon. He is one of the oldest dogs in the history of the breed, and is scheduled to compete at the prestigious Westminster dog show in February.

Delsin was reported missing Tuesday night by his owner Anne Nichols after disappearing from the back yard of her nephew's home in Bloomington. A young child at the home at 102nd Street and Beard Ave. South accidentally left the gate open and the dog escaped wearing no collar. Delsin is also not microchipped.

Late Tuesday a Bloomington animal control officer spotted the big dog stuck between two fences, picked him up, and transported him to Minneapolis Animal Care and Control, where the city houses its animals.

Workers at the facility had heard about Delsin's escape, put two and two together, and called Bloomington police. Nichols and her prized dog were reunited about noon Wednesday.
