CALGARY - Buddy the purloined Labrador retriever is heading home to Arkansas from Calgary after being on the lamb for four long years.
Calgary animal control officers found the purebred chocolate lab last week roaming on the loose.
When they checked a microchip imbedded in the dog's skin, they discovered that he had been stolen as a puppy from a family who live just outside of the state capital of Little Rock.
Bill Bruce, director of animal control, says it turns out that Buddy lived in Oregon for awhile and then British Columbia before turning up in Calgary.
Buddy's registered name is Rivers, and his owners are thrilled at the prospect of getting him back.
The 45-kilogram dog is to fly home to Arkansas and his loved ones on United Airlines in a specially-designed crate.
