A dog who was stolen from her family half a decade ago has finally been found - just 13 miles from her home.
Ginger originally disappeared in 2017, leaving her owner Barney Lattimore, from Janesville, Wisconsin, distraught.
Barney looked everywhere for his missing pup and refused to give up hope that one day he may spot her.
Every time he saw a dog that slightly resembled the white and brown dog, he'd pray that it was her - but it never was.
Then earlier this month, Beloit Police Department shared a picture on Facebook of a stray dog they had found.

The dog was taken to the Humane Society of Southern Wisconsin (HSSW) to be treated, and the shelter reached out to try and find an owner.
Five years on from when Ginger was taken, Barney rushed to the rescue centre in the hopes that the dog resembled his long lost pooch.
And as soon as they saw each other, there was no doubt it was his beloved Ginger.
The HSSW wrote on Facebook: "The excitement on the family's faces, as well as Ginger's, when they were finally reunited was beyond memorable.
"Ginger is back with her true family and now has the opportunity to meet her new 'pack' members and make up for lost time!"
Followers were overjoyed to hear the news of the reunion, with one saying: "Her smile says it all! PRICELESS!"
Another commented: "Miracles do happen" and a third said: "I'm not crying, you're crying."
Barney took to the comments section to thank the hundreds of people showing their support.
He said: "I thank everyone. Prayers do get answered she's back home doing well. Thanks again for the love and support. All you people are so amazing and love you all."
Another dog who was presumed dead has been reunited with her owner - thanks to a sausage roll.
Henry, a working dog in Cornwall, went missing along the South West Coast Path on Friday, April 8, and couldn't be found by rescuers.
It was concluded the dog had probably fallen down a fissure - a narrow rock opening - and died, leaving his owners devastated.
Then two days later, the coastguard team received reports of a barking dog and set to work rescuing him, with the help of half a sausage roll and some treats.
