We told yesterday how homing pigeon Henry got lost during a race from France to the UK and turned up three weeks later, 4,500 miles away in the Bahamas.
Here are more inspirational animals that went on an incredible journey and eventually returned to their owners.
1. Iggy the labrador, then just 18 months old, disappeared from his Rawtenstall, Lancs, home in August 2005. His family were overjoyed when the pooch was found in 2010 ? wandering the streets 130 MILES away in Leicester.
2. Tabby Tigger was handed back to his ecstatic owner in 2011 ? two months after being taken away with rubbish on a bin lorry. He was found near a council recycling depot, 25 MILES from his home in Stevenage, Herts.
3. Pussy Willow got lucky after disappearing from Princetown, Devon, in 2007. She wandered 20 MILES across moors and was found in Plymouth in 2011. A microchip led to a happy reunion with her family.
4. Jack Russell Shadrach took six days to make the 13-MILE trip from Scarborough back to Weaverthorpe, N Yorks, after vanishing on a walk in woods in 2008. He turned up at his owner?s mum?s house.
5. Mongrel mutt Sophie Tucker was swept from a boat off Australia in 2009 and swam in shark-infested waters for FIVE MILES to reach an island. She was found four months later.
6. Tough customer Smokey took THREE DAYS to make his way home in Carisbrook, Australia, in 2009, after being shot 13 times in a sickening, unexplained attack. His shocked owners took him for urgent life-saving treatment.
