A Florida family is preparing to reunite with their 13-year-old dog, Apollo, after he was found more than 1,000 miles away in New York nearly two months after disappearing.

Apollo went missing on April 25 after surveillance video showed a white car stopping near the family’s home and a woman briefly asking neighbors about the dog before leaving. Authorities later said no crime had been established.

This week, the family learned Apollo had been scanned at a New York animal shelter after being found wandering and taken there by a good Samaritan. He was also wearing a tag with a different name.

He is now set to be flown back to Florida, with the family covering travel and shelter costs estimated at about $1,000. Despite unanswered questions, the family says they are focused on bringing him home.
