If you move four times in five years, it’s hard enough for the mail to find you, let alone a dog. But that’s just what one smart Shih Tzu did this past week.

According to NBC News, Myrna Carillo lost her beloved dog Prince over five years ago in California. Since then, she has married, had two boys… and moved four times. And yet, somehow Prince showed up on her doorstep last week. Myrna immediately recognized the furry dog, and more impressively, the dog recognized her. Prince is already bonding with Myrna’s sons, and is reacquainting himself with his rediscovered family.

This isn’t the first pet miracle. Last year a cat returned home after going missing during Hurricane Katrina five years ago (story below). And an Australian dog returned home after a nine year disappearance. As for Prince — while his house may have changed four times in his absence, there seems to be no place like home.

Jennifer Noble’s Cat, Scrub, Returns Home 5 Years After Hurricane Katrina
From Huffington Post

Biloxi, Mississippi — Five years after wandering away in Hurricane Katrina’s aftermath, a gray and white cat named Scrub has been reunited with his Mississippi family.

The Humane Society of South Mississippi says Scrub was identified by an implanted microchip. The 7-year-old cat was brought to the shelter by a Gulfport woman who’d fed him as a stray the past couple of months but worried about his safety during a cold snap.

Scrub’s owner, Jennifer Noble, tells The Sun Herald newspaper that she was skeptical at first when she received a call from the shelter. But by the end of the first night back, Scrub had snuggled in bed with one of her boys.

The woman who’d been feeding him lives about 15 miles away. Noble says Scrub is in excellent condition.
