A family living in Mosman, lost Ruby, an 18-month-old Sydney silky-Australian terrier. They put up notices, contacted search organisations, but had no success. They decided she was dead somewhere. Then the other night, the phone rang - a Strathfield animal hospital was calling. A terrier had been found in a nearby garden, and its microchip showed it was Ruby. She had obviously been looked after, but must have been "on the road", as she needed a bath and some vet care. A pity she couldn't tell the her family where she had been . . . for the past three years!

That reminds me of that movie 'Henry' starring Harrison Ford where he gets amnesia and doesn't remember his family. Actually it's more like that movie called 'Cast Away' with Tom Hanks where he returns after years of being lost at sea and everyone has moved on with their life believing he was dead.
