Five years ago, a female Chihuahua mixed dog named Penny escaped from her owner's home in Lucedale Mississippi that is owned by Kristy Taylor.
Just recently Kristy received a phone call from an animal shelter in Florida giving her the good news that Penny who had a microchip on her coat was discovered by a person who saw a stray dog in Volusia County who turned the dog to the animal shelter.
Kristy went from Lucedale to the Orlando area to reunite with Penny at the animal shelter on Wednesday October 29 in the company of a family friend.
Penny is in good condition despite being away from her former home in Mississippi for five years.

I am in agreement with you since five years away from home is a long time.

@Deepizzaguy I'm surprised Penny wasn't found earlier, considering she had a microchip. But glad she's home now.

@much2say I know what you mean since missing dogs can be found by the use of a microchip.

I'm so glad Penny is home; but it brings tears to my eyes that she was out on her own for 5 years.

I know how you feel a pet that was away from home for about five years is a lot time.
