Now safe and sound, Nike's story serves as a great reminder of the importance of properly identifying your pets.

TUCSON, AZ (KOLD) - This week at the Humane Society of Southern Arizona, Zuleica Sanz was reunited with her beloved Siberian Husky, Nike, after losing him 5 years ago.

Sanz had given up hope of ever finding her then-puppy again.

Thanks to Nike's microchip, he found his way back home again after arriving just days ago at the Humane Society of Southern Arizona as a stray.

Despite their years of separation, Nike and Sanz recognized each other instantly in a reunion that unfolded with hugs, smiles, a wagging tail, and cheers all around. Where Nike has been this entire time is a mystery only he knows.

"He looks exactly the same," explained owner Sanz. "Just bigger."

While hugging an ecstatic Nike, Sanz explained that the family still had pictures of their puppy proudly displayed on the refrigerator at home. Although they held on to memories of their furry family member, they never expected the phone call explaining that Nike had been found over 5 years later.

Within minutes, the Sanz's rushed to the Humane Society and Nike went home with the family. With some surprises in store, Nike came home to an expanded family, with a new Chihuahua and Shih Tzu sibling to welcome him back.
