In the annals of long-lost dogs, this one must be a record.
Ginger, a Yorkshire terrier who disappeared from her Miami home 10 years ago, was recently found in a northwest Houston subdivision, about a block from busy West Little York.
The tiny dog and her Miami family have been reunited because Ginger had a microchip, and the man who found her on his way to work made sure she got a checkup.
Houston communications consultant Katharine Fraser, whose boyfriend, Byron Black, picked up the dog, told about the incredible encounter in her blog, The Sage Leopard. As described by Fraser, Ginger was wearing a big red bow but had matted fur where she wasn't balding.
When the microchip scan came back with 10-year-old contact information in Miami, Fraser said she was initially dejected, thinking it couldn't possibly be current.
