    ENID, Okla (KFOR) — A family pet that went missing two years ago, was finally found hundreds of miles away.

    Andora, the dog, went missing from Pensacola, Florida and somehow ended up in Enid, Oklahoma.

    Destiny Druse, an Enid resident says she found Andora by her house, she made several posts and looked for her owners, but had no luck.

    She had a friend, who is also a groomer come to her house with a chip reader and found Andora was microchipped.

    “We had scanned her and immediately read and it gave us her name Andora, so at that point we were like, Andora, her ears perked up like she hadn’t heard her name in forever,” said Druse.

    Druse says there was no owner information listed, however they filed a found pet report and within ten minutes her Pensacola owner was calling.

    “Where are you all at? And they’re like, we’re in Enid and I’m like, where’s that? I’ve never heard of that before and they said, Oklahoma,” said Brenna Denmark, Andora’s owner in Pensacola.

    The Denmark’s ended up renting a car, drove nearly fourteen hours one-way, maxed out their credit cards and put everything on hold.

    “They wanted their baby home, that’s all that mattered and I think that’s just amazing. I’ve never seen somebody love their dog so much,” said Druse.

    They drove through the night and got to Enid after 1:00 a.m., reuniting with Andora who was just as happy to see her owners, immediately begging for belly rubs.

    Andora is now back home in the Sunshine State.

    “She runs all over the place, as soon as she ran in the door, she found like where we keep all the dog toys and she picked her dog toy and she’s had that ever since and she slept between my bed and my daughter’s last night,” said Denmark.

    As for how she ended up all the way in Oklahoma, that’s still a mystery. Her owners believe someone might of stole her.

    “We don’t live in the best neighborhood and there’s a lot of people that like to fight Pitbulls and stuff, so that’s kind of where we thought she ended up,” said Denmark.

    They never thought she would end up in Oklahoma. Andora’s story is a reminder of how important it is to microchip your pets.

    “Without that, she never would have made it home,” said Autumn Anderson, scanned Andora for a chip.

    Anderson and Druse have shared the story on social media, hoping to bring the community together to help the Denmark’s with travel expenses and future vet bills.

    The Denmark’s say they’ve already been shown the Oklahoma Spirit with around $400 donated to them.

    “It’s really just amazing to see that people do anything because over here they really don’t do that,” said Denmark.
