A little dog stolen from her home three years ago has been reunited with her owner.
When the terrier-cross vanished from the house in Antrim , her owners were devastated and have spent the years since her disappearance looking for her.
And now she has turned up at a Co Down kennels where her microchip allowed her real owners to be contacted.
A spokesperson for Corran Kennels in Downpatrick , said: “They never gave up hope of finding her as she was microchipped.
“Last Tuesday, a gentleman found Reilly straying in the Castlewellan area and brought her to the kennels.
“We scanned her and discovered that she was chipped but unfortunately the phone number wasn’t up to date.
“Luckily her owner had added an email address and had posted a lovely photo of Reilly.
“We sent an email and today there were tears of joy all round when they were reunited so we had a very happy ending.”
