A terrier mix named Mishka has been reunited with a family in San Diego after running away eight months ago and returning nearly 3,300 miles to metro Detroit.

Last month, police in Harper Woods, Michigan, responded to a report of a stray dog, which turned out to be little Mishka. Her officers took her to the Grosse Pointe Animal Adoption Society, where they discovered she was microchipped and far from her home.
The couple were happy to learn she was safe, but were puzzled as to how the small dog managed to cover so much ground.
“I put up over a thousand flyers. I had a flyer on my back windshield. I always had her on a leash when I looked for her…Now I want to know how she got to Michigan. That’s all,” Elizabeth told The Associated Press. “I never gave up.”
Her family and animal rescue director Corinne Martin believe Mishka may have been stolen during her “incredible journey”.
“She was clean and well fed. Whoever had her took good care of her,” veterinarian Nancy Pillsbury told The Associated Press. “How she got here is a story only Mishka knows.”
Mishka also learned a new trick during her unexplained absence: how to take command, increasing the Fuman family’s suspicions that she had been stolen.
When the call came, the Homans were on a plane to visit family in Minneapolis, and as soon as they landed, Mellado flew straight to Detroit to pick up the missing dog. According to FOX 2 Detroit.
The dog recognized Merad immediately and when she saw him, she happily began “jumping into the cage.” When he got home, she got excited and started licking Elizabeth.
