A dog who bolted from his new owner an hour after being rescued from the pound, has become a global sensation thanks to his epic journey back to the very place he had been forced to leave.
The Golden Retriever who was surrendered in Co Tyrone last March, managed to walk 40 miles over 27 days right back to the property where he had lived the first years of his life.
News of his arrival there and subsequent reunion with his new owner grabbed the attention of dog lovers across the world with readers responding from Belfast to Borneo, Nottingham to New Zealand and even further afield.
