A small Shih Tzu that belongs to Jets legend Joe Namath’s daughter was returned after it went missing five years ago.
The small brown dog, named Tula, wandered out of Jessica Namath’s Florida backyard five years ago and was all but gone until Namath got a phone call on Wednesday.
“I’ve got a weird question for you,” the caller said, according to the Tampa Bay Times. “Are you missing a dog?”
Michael Cecere said he found the dog whimpering outside of his house and took it to a vet and found it had a tracking chip.
Cecere then found a number for Namath, ending the five-year long separation of the two.
An overjoyed Namath said she had checked everywhere for the pup — knocking doors, kayaking canals, posting a $2,000 reward, and even going to three psychics.
The dog was finally returned on Thursday.
“I could hear her jaw drop over the phone,” Cecere told the paper about the reunion call.
Namath later found out that Tula had been taken in by another owner who also lost the dog over the past five years.
