BONITA, Calif. - A dog that disappeared from the New Mexico/Texas state line three years ago was discovered in San Diego last week and reunited with his owner thanks to a microchip, the county Department of Animal Services reported Tuesday.

The 7-year-old Labrador retriever was found wandering in Otay Mesa on Thursday, and Animal Services officials contacted the girlfriend of owner Ricardo Dominguez on Friday.

Dominguez, a general contractor, drove from a job site in El Paso to claim his dog, named Brownie.

"He looks up through the door at me in my cowboy hat, and his eyes were (saying), 'Wow, is that you?'" Dominguez said. "His eyes went wide, and he went wild, started dragging the person on the leash, and he came and jumped on me and went crazy!"
