Penny the dog was reunited with her Washington state owners Friday night after a nearly 2,400-mile road trip that took her across the country.

Penny's cross-country voyage began on December 19 when she got loose from her owners and a truck driver picked her up while she was wandering the streets in her hometown of Royal City.

Penny, a Vizsla, somehow ended up days later in the care of a veterinarian at a pet hospital in West Township, Pennsylvania. The vet notified her owners with information located on her microchip.

Penny had been staying in foster care in Pittsburgh until Alaska Airlines learned about her and flew her back to Sea-Tac Friday night.
