A missing dog has undergone an incredible two month 60-mile journey to be reunited with his owner after she left him with friends as she moved home.

In a tale reminiscent of the film Incredible Journey, border collie Casey disappeared from Spilsby in Lincolnshire, where he was being cared for by a friend while his owner Carole Fossett moved house.

But after weeks of Casey being missing the family had given up hope of finding him until they launched a Facebook campaign to track him down.

The 58-year-old, who has had Casey since he was a puppy, said she received three calls from across the country and almost came close to catching him as he made his way across fields.

"We didn't hear anything and I thought, that's it, he's died. He's been shot or run over," she said.

"All we kept thinking was, where is he?"
