Samantha said it was "so lovely to have him home again in time for Christmas"
A Chihuahua dumped at a church in Hertfordshire in a Santa sack has been reunited with his owner four months after he went missing.
The dog, called Eragon, was found by children attending a service at St Mary's Church, Hitchin, on Tuesday.
He was accompanied by a note asking, "please find me a lovely new home".
The RSPCA scanned his microchip and found he belonged to Samantha Jones from Bowditch in south London. She had lost the dog during a walk in August.
The reunion was "a lovely surprise", said Ms Jones, adding: "I thought I would never see him again.
"I was especially shocked to find he was in Hertfordshire - quite a way from my London home." More - BBC News
