Missing Oklahoma dog reunited with owner after over a year

June 8 (UPI) -- A dog found roaming an Oklahoma street was reunited with her owner, who said the canine had been missing for over a year.

The Neel Veterinary Hospital said a member of the public found a dog roaming on a street in Oklahoma City and brought the animal in to be scanned for a microchip.

The chip contained contact information for the dog's owner, who said her pet, Belle, had been missing for over a year.

"She was in tears and drove to our hospital right away," the veterinary hospital said in a Facebook post. "Belle was so happy to see her mom again."

The hospital said the reunion should serve as a reminder to have pets microchipped.
