TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - A dog that disappeared after her disabled owner was injured in a car crash has been found safe and was reunited with her owner.

Nina, a German shepherd mix, was spotted in South Tampa on Saturday. It was about 6 miles from where the dog vanished following the car crash.

Nina was adopted by disabled Army veteran Luke Macner. He had adopted her on Thursday as part of the Humane Society of Tampa Bay’s Pets for Patriots program.



Macner was involved in a car crash eight hours after the adoption and Nina ran away.

Macner was hospitalized but was reunited with his dog Tuesday.
