TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - A special therapy dog named Kojack and his owner Lori Ginsburg were separated over a week ago during a hiking trip at Catalina State Park. A storm likely spooked the dog who took off down the mountain.

Ginsburg describes the feeling of "panic" after realizing that her dog was gone. Every day she handed out fliers and set up a Facebook page. Most of all, she never lost hope.
"My gut feeling was that he was out there somewhere, and he was ok. I panicked but never let myself get discouraged" said Ginsburg. On Friday, Kojack turned up at a stranger's door. He was covered in cactus, hungry and thirsty. The woman who took him in was a former veterinarian. She cleaned him up, fed him and called the phone number on Kojack's tag. Ginsburg couldn't believe that Kojack had been found alive. "He's my little best friend."
Ginsburg posted photos of the car ride home which came with an obvious appreciation for the simple things in life, like a family pet. Kojack came home to a party, complete with balloons and dog biscuits.
Kojack is a therapy dog, and once he's feeling better he will continue his work with sick children.
