Nika The Dog Found 2,000 Miles Away From Home.

Two years ago, a New York man's dog, Nika, was stolen. He was mowing his lawn when he realized that Nika was gone.  

 He did so much to get his toy fox terrier back. He posted fliers and even called several places. He called some local vet practices and he also called some local animal shelters. How this sad story turns into a happy one.  Only a few days ago DiBella, the owner, received an email.  The email was from an animal shelter in Marion County.  Marion County is in Florida.  DiBella is in New York nearly 2,000 miles away.

The email told him that Nika was found on the doorstep of a home in Florida.  Later, DiBella got a phone call saying that Nika had a microchip which turned out to have DiBella's information.  DiBella said that it was shocking that a 5 pound dog would end up in Florida.

About a year after Nika was lost, DiBella got a new dog.  This dog is named Marta.  DiBella hopes to get Nika back by Thanksgiving.  Now Marta will have a new best friend.
