"ST. LOUIS — Cujo was a frisky 7-year-old when he sneaked out of his owners’ yard in July 2000. Now, thinner and grayer and with a tale that would be fascinating if only he could tell it, the golden retriever is back with the Barczewski family. “It’s a miracle,” 41-year-old Noreen Barczewski said at Friday’s reunion. “We found him!” Six years can do a lot to a dog, but it was unmistakably Cujo. There was the heart-shaped patch of white on his forehead, the white fur on his toes, his manner of greeting people by rubbing against them cat-style. Cujo had somehow ended up 120 miles away in Columbia in the home of an elderly woman. When the woman entered a nursing home, the dog was sent to the Central Missouri Humane Society in Columbia. A week ago, Noreen Barczewski’s brother-in-law, Michael Barczewski, went to an adoption agency Web site on a fluke. He’d been looking for a dog to adopt and saw the picture of the old dog with the white heart mark and white feet. He recognized the dog immediately, and the reunion followed within days."
Now, isn't that sweet?
