Happy Headline of the Day: Lost Dog Reunited with Family After 559 Days

In late June of 2014, a family was in a minor car accident. While nobody was hurt, the family dog – Murphy, a Golden Retriever – ran away from the scene in the aftermath.

The spooked dog was, amazingly, on the run for 559 days before finally reuniting with his family.

Through the months, the family never gave up hope. And, luckily, people who saw Murphy as a stray dog started leaving food out for him – and even set a trap.

They finally succeeded in bringing Murphy in and locating his original owners.

Now reunited with the family that lost him so long ago, Murphy appears very glad to have been found, because he is particularly affectionate and friendly – and even “smiling.”

Of course, from now on, the family will be sure to keep a leash on their adventurous friend.
