PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. - A German shepherd named Astro who has been missing from his family for more than nine years is finally home.
The Geary family was shocked when they recently received a call from an animal control officer who said that Astro had been found. The dog went missing from the Geary family's Port St. Lucie, Fla. home shortly after the family adopted him. Since then, they have moved three times and ended up in Louisville, Ky.
On Jan. 29, 2009, an animal control officer in Tennessee picked up Astro after receiving a report about a dog running loose. Officers tracked down the family through a microchip implanted in the canine.
Dennis Geary says he wasn't sure if Astro would remember him. But when they were reunited, the dog sat down and began licking him.
