CARLSBAD — A lost dog made her way 35 miles home from Los Penasquitos Canyon Preserve to find her owner asleep in bed in San Diego County.

The San Diego Union-Tribune reports (http://bit.ly/1HcPEC3 ) that Kris Anderson was told she should give up on finding her lost dog, Georgia, after she took off over a hill June 27. Anderson and her daughter drove to the preserve and home to Carlsbad every day in hopes of finding the 8-year-old Shar Pei mix.

But at 8:30 Monday morning, Anderson was asleep at home when Georgia burst into the bedroom and joined her in bed.

Veterinarian Luis Lizarraga, who examined Georgia says she is in remarkable shape for what she endured, including predators, traffic, a torrential rainstorm and Fourth of July fireworks.
