A TOTON couple have been reunited with their dog – almost five years after she went missing.
Daisy, an English springer spaniel, and her brother Flynn disappeared from their local park in April 2007.
But while owners Margaret and Colin Froggatt found Flynn soon after, Daisy was never recovered.
The couple received a phone call out of the blue a few weeks ago, saying Daisy had turned up around 40 miles away in Doncaster.
Mrs Froggatt said: "We searched everywhere after she went missing. We made up posters, did a door-to-door hunt, went online and even asked the local radio station to ask if anyone had seen her.
"We thought we would never see her again and just hoped that someone kind had got her and was looking after her."
The couple, however, received a phone call from dog wardens in Doncaster saying Daisy had turned up.
She had been found as a stray in Doncaster by two women, and after scanning a microchip in Daisy, the wardens were able to reunite her with the Froggatts.
Mrs Froggatt said: "It was a very emotional reunion. We took her home feeling as if we had won the lottery.
"We have no real idea about her life up to the time she was found.
"She is truly part of the family once more. Flynn realised that the boss was back but, despite a few moments early on, they get on well now."
