Qld: Muffy returns - paws for applause

It's been a long nine years .. but after a miraculous rescue and a round trip of four
thousand kilometres Muffy the mutt is home in the arms of her owner on the Gold Coast.

It's been an emotional reunion today for Muffy and 17-year-old CHLOE RUSHBY .. who
thought she'd never see her beloved pet again after she disappeared.

Muffy was found when RSPCA officers were called to a Melbourne home to investigate
a possible case of animal cruelty.

The officers used a microchip to identify Muffy's owners.

CHLOE's father DEAN RUSHBY says the family's two pet dogs had both died in the last
few months .. so having Muffy back is fantastic.
