A dog that disappeared 12 years ago has been reunited with her family. Missie, a border terrier, was one year old when she disappeared. Her owner, Liz Eldridge, 51, from Harpenden in Hertfordshire, spent eight years looking for Missie before giving up hope. She was reunited with her dog after a friend spotted a post online about a dog in a kennel that bore a resemblance to Missie. “It’s amazing. You’re not expecting it,” Eldridge told The Times.
