Lost SoCal Dog Finds Way Home From Texas

A dog found running in the streets of Denton, Texas, was returned to his family in Bellflower, Calif., on Thursday.

A good Samaritan found the dog, named Kobe, who was identified by an AVID microchip.

Kobe's owner, Michelle Ontiveros, originally found the white terrier running around the streets of Bellflower, her hometown, so she knew he was a roamer. But she never expected that Kobe would end up in Texas.

Local animal control workers at the Southeast Area Animal Control Authority said Ontiveros was distraught when she found out how far away Kobe was because she could not afford to ship him back. So local workers contacted the AVID microchip company, and AVID picked up the costs of flying the dog back to Los Angeles on Thursday.

Kobe isn't saying how he got from California to Texas.
