"It's just incredible. We can't believe she's coming home and we can't grasp the concept that she's in Columbus, Ohio," said Jaime Hale, Daisy's owner, when she was contacted about the dog's discovery.The Hale family had Daisy in their Ventura, Calif., home for nine months, but on Feb. 20, she vanished. They tried looking for her, even online."She's really spunky, (a) fun little puppy -- part of our family," Hale said. "It was just no good news."Somehow, Daisy ended up at the New Albany Animal Hospital, where doctors scanned her for a microchip and discovered that she had traveled 2,000 miles."We just looked at each other and went, 'How'd she get here?'" said Paula Dolan, rescuer.The trip is still a mystery, but Daisy Duke will be reunited with her family."That chipping system (is) really putting my family back together," Hale said.
