A pigeon has been reunited with his owner after getting more than he bargained for when he ended up in Alabama - but he was meant to go to Gateshead.
Bob the homing pigeon set off from Guernsey and his owner expected him home within eight to 10 hours - but when he didn't come home there was a lot of confusion and concern.
Weeks later, owner Alan Todd received an email to tell him that Bob was thousands of miles away in an animal shelter and he'd been getting up to some cheeky antics.
