A dog in eastern China returned home after it had been lost for six years, delighting millions on the Chinese internet.

The dog owner, surnamed Zhang, from Ningbo in Zhejiang province, had previously lost the dog while cleaning his home, Pear Video reported.

He had two dogs and put both of them on the doorstep. When he returned to check on them, one of the dogs had disappeared. After looking for a few days, Zhang gave up and assumed the dog had been lost.

Although the dog had disappeared, Zhang remembered its appearance six years later. When the dog returned to Zhang’s home, he recognised it immediately.
