Cleo the canine must have been a homing pigeon in another life.
The pooch trekked 60 miles from her new home in Olathe, Kansas, to her old home in Lawson, Missouri, where she hasn’t lived for nearly two years. She had to cross a river — either the Kansas, the Missouri or maybe both — to make her way back.
Cleo, a 4-year-old Labrador, settled in on the house’s front porch, startling the family who lives there now.
Britney Colton spotted the dog first, said Michael Colton, her husband, according to KMBC News, a TV station in Kansas City, Missouri, not far from Olathe.
“She got out of her car and said, ‘Where did the dog come from?’” Michael said.
Cleo was standoffish, but Colton had a vet check her for a microchip — and she had one. Britney Colton recognized the name and told her husband, “That’s the people that used to live here.”

I guess she didn’t like the new neighborhood.
She must not have bonded with her owners and was bonded to her old home.
Awwww...
We have 3 dogs and 2 cats and none of them would ever leave, they know how good they got it.
My dog was raised on a farm. She had free reign to roam the county and she, her dad, and her fellow puppies did. Dogs have a great sense of direction.
We are a Lab family. Love them.
I love these stories.
THANX
Welcome your long lost dog with a frigging facemask on...
What a nancy..
I guess she didn’t like the new neighborhood.
IOW, dogs...or Labs...can be like regular ghosts instead of poltergeists.
Non-sequitur.
Dog liked the place more than the people.
My guess is the new house doesn’t have a big front porch, she missed her front porch.
