I just thought this was a happy story, for a change.

CLEAR LAKE, Texas (AP) - A 4-year-old dog long gone in the aftermath of Hurricane Ike is back with her family in Clear Lake.

September's storm blew down a fence at the home of Joe and Kathy Bauer.

They took Daizy and her canine companion, Hank, to a kennel until they could fix the fence.

Both dogs got out. Joe Bauer found Hank in a wooded area the same day the Blue Lacys slipped away.

The family went online, handed out fliers and put up yard signs with Daizy's photo.

KHOU-TV reports family friends last week noticed a dog wandering in Webster, less than 1 mile from the kennel. The Bauers again went searching.

Kathy Bauer late Thursday whistled for the pet. She says Daizy came running and "lifted her paw for a handshake."
