Emotional reunion for long-lost mongrel 'Muffy'
MELBOURNE (AFP) - - A young Australian Friday held an emotional TV reunion with her dog Muffy, who went missing nine years ago before reappearing filthy and flea-bitten 2,000 kilometres (1,250 miles) away.
Chloe Rushby, now 17, who was given the mongrel on her eighth birthday, stroked and hugged the white-haired Muffy in a meeting shown live by Channel 10's satirical "The 7pm Project."
"Hey Muffy, hey girl," Rushby said, before admitting she was overcome with emotion. "I'm shaking," she added.
Rushby was flown from the eastern Gold Coast region to Melbourne by Channel 10 after Muffy's astonishing reappearance in an unkempt suburban back yard, where she was sleeping on a piece of cardboard.
The teenager's mother Natalie Lampard said that before the disappearance, her daughter and the dog were "pretty much inseparable."
"Just how she got down to Melbourne I guess is a mystery that will never be answered, but she won't be sleeping out in the yard in the middle of winter ever again," Lampard said.
The dog, who was identified by an embedded microchip, was set to be flown back to the eastern Gold Coast in air-conditioned luxury courtesy of specialist transport service Jet Pets.
Muffy will receive her own pet travel consultant, enjoy door-to-door transfers and the comforts of a luxury kennel and doggy transit lounge, all free of charge.
"They are big supporters of the RSPCA and they donated the flights," the RSPCA spokesman said. "For Muffy, they are more than happy to do it."

How to Brush Your Dog's or Cat's Teeth
Brushing your cat's or dog's teeth is simple after you've had a few practice sessions. Try to do this every day to promote healthy teeth and gums.
1.)Have a veterinarian check your pet's teeth before you start a tooth-brushing program. If your pet has gum disease or damaged teeth, the process will be painful and he will associate pain with tooth brushing. He may even bite you.
2.) Get your cat or dog used to your looking into his mouth. After each time you do so, reward him with a treat or praise.
3.) Buy a pet dental kit, including toothpaste (made for dogs and cats) and a toothbrush, at a pet store or from your vet. Follow the kit's instructions for use. Research alternatives, such as a finger toothbrush, if your pet refuses to let you brush his teeth with a toothbrush. Ask your veterinarian for suggestions.
4.)Place your cat or dog on a comfortable surface while brushing his teeth.
5.) In general, try to use minimal restraint on your pet while brushing'especially if it's a cat. However, it may be easier to handle an especially reluctant cat by wrapping him in a towel to keep him from scratching or trying to escape.
6.) Brush your cat's or dog's teeth with a gentle, massaging motion.
7.)Reward your cat or dog with a tartar-control treat after the procedure.
Tips and Warnings:
#Starting at age 3, bring your dog or cat to the veterinarian for an annual teeth cleaning.
#Try to brush as part of daily quality time with your pet. He will come to associate tooth brushing with affection and praise.
Notes:
Melmhlaka:Fluoride, an ingredient in most human toothpastes can be harmful to dogs. They'll prefer the meat or chicken flavored ones anyway. I can't get my Rottie to enjoy her tooth brushing at all no matter how many treats or how much praise I give. Some dogs are just dirty!
This is a serious subject of vital importance.Studies of dog teeth and mouth issues show a whopping 98% of cases of bad breath in dogs are caused by periodontal disease, resulting from tartar buildup on the dog’s teeth and gum infections.80% of dogs exhibit signs of gum disease by age three. Infection due to periodontal disease can enter the blood stream, potentially infecting the heart, kidneys and liver, and may lead to other health problems in the pet’s latter years.This should be seen as a serious warning that, left unchecked, can lead to serious health problems and very possibly the shortening of our pets’ lives.
