A Chula Vista family got quite a fairy “tail” ending when they were reunited with their long-missing dog after he was found in Northern California.
The pooch was found on Jan. 4 after Livermore police officers located a vehicle that was reported to have been operated by a reckless driver who was later identified as a parolee. The vehicle was ditched by its driver and inside, officers found Muny abandoned.

There, a veterinary technician found a microchip and discovered the pup belonged to someone in San Diego County. After digesting their shock that their long-missing furry friend was finally found, Muny’s family made the roughly 8-hour drive to Dublin to reunite with their lost pet. According to his owners, they previously received messages from an unknown sender demanding money in exchange for the dog’s return. Without proof of Muny in the sender’s possession, the owners believed they were being scammed.
