(UPI) A dog who went missing at the Melbourne Airport in Australia was reunited with his owner in Wales after a 17-day search.
The dog, named Milo, had been due to travel home to Swansea, Wales, with owner Jason Whatnall when the canine escaped from the custody of AeroPets Animal Transport.
A 17-day search of the area was launched, and there were multiple sightings reported, but Milo always fled before he could be caught.
"He's had a ball -- he was chasing rabbits, playing with the kangaroos around Tullamarine," Whatnall told 7News. He had a massive adventure. Last little trip around Australia before jetting off to the U.K.
Animal rescuer Nigel Williamson shared video showing the moment Milo finally walked into a humane trap set up by a local charity group.
Whatnall said his reunion with Milo at Heathrow Airport was emotional for them both.
"He was squealing like a little cheeky boy he is -- he couldn't stop. It was great," Whatnall said.
