LONDON -- We've all heard the stories about pets travelling miles to get to an old home. We've all read tales of dogs and cats that get lost only to turn up on their owner's doorsteps weeks later.
We've all seen Homeward Bound, and we all cried at that bit near the end when we thought Shadow had died, but frankly that wound's still far too raw and we're getting massively sidetracked so let's leave that one there for now.

After his owners sent him to a man in Cockermouth, England to work on a farm, Pero escaped and apparently travelled "240 miles" back to his former owners' house near Aberystwyth, Wales.
Pero fled on April 8, and the journey home took him 12 days.
"We'd been told that Pero had disappeared, and was nowhere to be seen," former owner Shan James was reported as saying by the BBC.
"But then, last Wednesday evening, April 20, my husband Alan went out to check on the animals after supper and there was Pero on our doorstep."
James went on to say she believes Pero must have found things to eat along the way, as he didn't appear hungry when he turned up. Who knows what other shenanigans he got up to.
The sheepdog is now safely back at his old home in Wales, where he will remain.
