The tearful reunion was caught on tape. It was like Daisy had never left.
Her owners, Rita and Phillip, said they kept a photograph on the mantlepiece of Daisy and would look at it every day thinking of her.
What they’re saying:
Rita said she recently told her grandson that she’d been thinking about Daisy a lot, to which her grandson said, “So have I.”
“I think all of us together brought her back,” Rita said.
“It is an absolute dream come true that the RSPCA found her and have returned her to us – where she belongs. We are so, so grateful.”
