Poor dog, but a happy ending:

A pet dog that disappeared in Sydney earlier this month was found a week later roughly 1,000 kilometres away in south-east Queensland. 

The two-year-old staffy-cross Roo went missing from a backyard in Sydney's inner-west in mid August, reappearing roughly a week later in the town of Mount Mee.

While it's not confirmed, both Roo's owner and the person who found her are suspicious this could have been an abduction.

Worst nightmare losing an animal and never knowing what happened to it. If only Roo could talk!

Before microchips, when Petsearch was run by Fiona Campbell, the newsletter was full of amazing and amusing stories of pets "on the lam", as Fiona described it.

I helped out (as did many others) with a lost Anatolian Shepherd whose home was several suburbs and a six lane road away from where I found him. Kubla was returned to his Turkish family with the help of Petsearch, a couple of passing pet owners and several people from the dog world. His story in the newsletter was titled "Kubla can't ... find his way home, but many people get involved".
