Dog reunited with owners after 7 years

PHOENIX (KSAZ) - A family pet missing for 7 years is back home, and it is all thanks to a microchip. The miniature schnauzer was found by a Laveen canal Monday evening.

Missy the dog went missing 7 years ago, and the family moved to San Tan Valley.

Several dogs were seen near a canal in Laveen and a rescue group found Missy who was covered in ticks and dirty. She's been cleaned up and cared for and because she was microchipped she's now back home.
