Linda Baldazo said her 1-year-old dog who went missing from
her Tucson home in October and was located in Howard, Wisconsin,
just north of Green Bay on Feb. 6.
"I have no idea how he got there ... but it's a great story,"
Baldazo said on Friday.
Baldazo, 42, said her best guess is that Nicholas hopped a ride
with a motorist traveling from Arizona to Wisconsin.
The dog was found running down the street and an animal control
worker telephoned Baldazo after identifying Nicholas through an
implanted microchip, according to Lori Nachtwey, spokeswoman for
the Bay Area Humane Society.
"When they called me last week ... it was awesome, because it's
like your kid," Baldazo said.
The playful brown terrier is in good spirits and will remain at
the humane society until Baldazo can get enough money together
to fly to Wisconsin to retrieve him, Nachtwey said.
"We are more than excited about reuniting them," she said.
