A small dog who went missing from her family’s MS home about five years ago was reunited with her owners after turning up in a FL city about 520 miles away.  The dog is a chihuahua and dachshund mix named Penny, and she was found two weeks ago, dodging traffic on a city street.  The person who found her had her microchip scanned, her owners were called, and they rushed down to reunite with their pet.  It’s unclear how Penny made it all the way to Florida.  (Here’s a local news report.)
