The Geary family was shocked when they recently received a call from an animal

control officer who said that Astro had been found. The dog went missing from

the Geary family's Port St. Lucie, Fla. home shortly after the family adopted

him. Since then, they have moved three times and ended up in Louisville, Ky.

On Jan. 29, 2009, an animal control officer in Tennessee picked up Astro after

receiving a report about a dog running loose. Officers tracked down the family

through a microchip implanted in the canine.

Dennis Geary says he wasn't sure if Astro would remember him. But when they were

reunited, the dog sat down and began licking him.
