Muffy the dog reunited with owner after nine years - Update

Muffy the terrier cross has been reunited with her long-lost owner, Chloe Rushby, after nine years apart.

Muffy disappeared in Brisbane and Chloe had given up hope of ever seeing her again - until she was found sleeping on a tattered piece of cardboard in a Melbourne back yard.

The happy ending was made complete when Channel 10 program The 7pm Project flew Chloe down to be reunited with the dog at the RSPCA's headquarters in Burwood.



After the cameras stopped rolling Chloe sat on the floor and started re-acquainting herself with her pet.

"I am not sure if she remembers me or not but I definitely remember her," an overwhelmed Chloe said.

"She looks exactly the same, although a bit older, and she has definitely quietened down a bit, she used to be a lot jumpier."
