Bandit, a one-year-old Malinois Shepherd, went missing from his home in Côte-d'Or in June of last year (France).

Farid, his owner, was distraught by this and spent months seeking for his canine closest friends.

Unfortunately, his quest provided no good findings for many months. Yet. Eight months later, Bandit was found on the side of the road by a nice stranger.

The unfortunate dog was stolen when he was just 4 months old.

The dog was found without a collar at 100 kilometers from home, but he was thankfully fitted with a microchip, which permitted him to ultimately be reunited to his owner.
