(July 16, 2008)--Rocco, a beagle that strayed from his New York City yard five years ago, has been found 850 miles away in Georgia and has been reunited with his owners.
Randy Durrence, the supervisor at the Liberty County Animal Control in Hinseville, Ga. told the New York Post that someone dropped off the pooch on July 5.
A microchip embedded under Rocco's skin helped trace him to his family in Queens, Jorge and
Cristina Villacis.
The couple's daughter, Natalie, was five years old when Rocco disappeared and is ecstatic.
Durrence says the shelter reunites many families with their pets but "it's unheard of" after so many years.
