Watch the heartwarming moment a dog is reunited with his owner

This is the lovely moment a man and his cherished dog are reunited after six months separation.

Jasper the whippet is obviously overjoyed (judging from his frantic tail-wagging in the clip below) at seeing his owner Michael Ford after being stolen six months before.

The one-year-old whippet was seen by a local woman, Wendy Jones, tied up outside a caravan and looking malnourished.

Apparently he had been sold to a woman three months ago.

The poor dog was brought into Heath Veterinary Clinic, in England, last week and scanned for a microchip which revealed that he belonged to Mr Ford 100 miles away.

As soon as he heard from the vets, Michael hurried straight away to the clinic to see his beloved pup.

Mr Ford told the London Evening Standard: "We honestly thought that we'd never see Jasper again and cannot thank Wendy and Heath Vets enough. We thought he had been stolen but had no proof, now we know the truth."

Just goes to show people, get your pets microchipped.
