Pentru proprietarii câinelui au fost luni de disperare, însă în preajma Crăciunului Minnie a fost găsită, cu o rană gravă la picior, rătăcind pe stradă în Hapton, Lancashire, la o distanță de 270 de kilometri de casă. Cel care a luat câinele în îngrijire a fost Ryan King: l-a dus într-o clinică veterinară, deoarece avea nevoie de o intervenție chirurgicală care i-a salvat viața, nu și piciorul rănit. Veterinarul a descoperit că Minnie avea un microcip înregistrat pe numele unei familii care locuia departe și care o raportase dispărută în martie. Acum, câinele cu trei picioare s-a întors cu familia sa: imediat ce a recunoscut drumul a început să tragă de lesă în ciuda handicapului și a sărit efectiv în brațele proprietarului său, potrivit Mediafax.
