A dog named Bruno is finally back with his family in California after turning up more than 400 miles from home at an animal shelter in Oregon. The Humane Society of Central Oregon in Bend said the put was recently brought in and then scanned for a microchip, which identified him as Bruno, a 6-year-old dog reported missing in Sacramento, Calif.
Bruno's owner, identified as Lorenzo, said his family left Bruno with a dog-sitter on Nov. 8, and the canine ended up escaping from the back yard.
The furry fugitive turned up three weeks later at an AM/PM gas station in southern Bend. Bruno's whereabouts for those three weeks, and how he managed to travel more than 400 miles, remain a mystery.
Lorenzo was reunited with Bruno at the shelter on Friday.
"It will be a surprise to his kids who do not know the dog has been found safe," the shelter said on social media.
