Who knows what Tootsie was doing in the five years she was missing, but hurray for happy endings! And hurray to the Animal Rescue League!
Tootsie, the adventuresome dachshund who went missing more than five years ago, is back home in Pleasantville, N.J.
Tootsie was found two weeks ago wandering around Wilkinsburg, 350 miles away from where he went missing in 2003. He was taken to the Animal Rescue League of Western Pennsylvania and was traced back to his owners using information on a microchip implanted under the skin on the back of his neck.
