A couple from the Charlottetown area of P.E.I. has been reunited with their one-year-old husky mix, Zoey, who disappeared during a walk in Ottawa's Arlington Woods area on Nov. 18.

Owners Maureen Kerr and her fiancé, Dave Glennie, adopted Zoey about two months ago from the SPCA in Charlottetown.

They said the one-year-old puppy became frightened during a walk on Nov. 18 with Kerr's nephew in Ottawa’s Arlington Woods area. She then ran away after the boy dropped the retractable leash.

"As she was running it was banging along behind her, scaring her, so she just ran like a bullet," said Kerr.

There were multiple sightings of Zoey and live-animal traps were set up in the area. The couple delayed their plans to return home by one week so they could search for Zoey. Initially they said they'd be returning to P.E.I. on Sunday, with or without Zoey.

But in a post on a Facebook page about Zoey, the couple said they had recently spotted the dog and again delayed plans to leave.

"I was hoping to get a flight back to PEI tomorrow but will postpone another day. Once we saw her yesterday and could make out her tags, we knew we weren't leaving today," the couple wrote Sunday night.

At about 12:30 p.m. Monday, a picture of Zoey was added to the Facebook group with the message "We got her!"

An hour later, more than 400 people had shared the photo and left comments.

Glennie said Zoey finally came to Kerr at a ravine in Nepean.

He said though the dog is a bit thin and has many burrs on her, she seems otherwise healthy. He said they plan on returning home after the dog is given a clean bill of health from the veterinarian.

The couple is also considering how to keep from losing her again.

"We'll get some obedience training and maybe some GPS tracking if it ever happens again.," said Glennie.
