Sunshine is home again!

As she watched the happy reunion, Jennifer knew she'd
found the right owner.
Bloomington dog found in 
Minneapolis returned to owner
Jennifer tracked down the owner of the lost rat terrier she caught and brought home yesterday and was there for the joyful reunion today. Let her tell it:
She writes: Happiness was felt, and a few tears were shed this morning at the Royal Grounds coffee shop when the cute little rat terrier I found running cold down the street yesterday was returned to her owner. "Sunshine" was apparently dropped off at a different friends house while Angela, the owner, went to work. Apparently the usual pet sitter was out of town and the substitute didn't realize the importance of keeping Sunshine on her leash when taking her out to use mother nature's toilet.
Somebody saw this
sign in a filling station.
Told Jennifer.
Sunshine is actually Angela's daughter's dog and was given to her 5 years ago for her 7th birthday. Needless to say, they didn't get much sleep last night, but with hard lessons learned, tonight should be better than ever. 
With the many thoughts of having a new pal still in my brain, I was nonetheless glad to see Sunshine returned to her home. Thanks for the sleepover, Sunshine, it was fun.

By the way, Sunshine's owner couldn't figure out how Jennifer was able to capture Sunshine, she's quite elusive and gives a good chase. "I just didn't give up," Jennifer explained.
We're very proud of our animal-lover.
