Alyce Johnson and her dog Midnight had an emotional reunion in Surrey on Sunday.

A stranger took the five-year-old American pitbull cross near the Yukon-Alaska border in late September.

Johnson didn’t know what had happened to her beloved pet but was shocked to receive a voicemail from an animal hospital in Phoenix.

She was told Midnight was left at a dog camp in Arizona and was identified by her microchip.

Apparently, the person who took her did not want her anymore.

“I was shocked,” Johnson told Global News. “Completely shocked. And this is 4 a.m. in the morning and I can’t call anyone. You know, not everyone wakes up at 4 a.m.”

Johnson added that no one expects to find their dog in a camp about 5,000 km  away.
