MISSING dog Serena has been reunited with her owner after a $11,000 reward for her return was advertised.
Serena the dog with her owner Tiana Lehmann
A caller to 6PR Radio named Kim rang the station after she believed the dog had been dumped at her Rockingham home this morning, 55km from where she went missing.
"The dog that's been missing, I think it's turned up at my house," she told the station.
"The markings look very similar," she said.
The seven-month old Staffordshire terrier was reunited with her owner Tiana Lehmann after disappearing on Good Friday and, in an act of extraordinary kindness and goodwill, Kim has refused to accept the $11,000 reward for finding Serena.
"She doesn't want it, she doesn't want it at all," Ms Lehmann said.
"She's just happy that Serena is home."
Kim contacted 6PR after her calls to the Lehmann family went unanswered.
"I suppose with everyone trying to contact them, they're not responding," she said.
Her husband heard some noise outside their home, shortly after he arrived home from a night shift at midnight.
"As he got into bed, our dogs were going beserk... He heard a car outside and banging doors, so I think the dog might have been dumped," Kim said.
About two hours later, Serena had been reunited with the Lehmann family and the offer of $11,320 as a reward for the return of the dog was turned down.
