A family of Halifax found her beloved dog, Nemo, after a month of searching.
The dog plays a crucial supporting role in the lives of Dawn Morrison’s two children. He disappeared last month near Kelly’s Mountain, Cape Breton.
The disappearance triggered an intense research effortwith Morrison and his family hoping for Nemo’s safe return.
Their perseverance was rewarded Tuesday night with their own version of “Finding Nemo,” when they received a call that the dog had been spotted wandering near a ferry terminal.

“A month to the day after he disappeared, we received a call from a family in Englishtown who saw Nemo running around near the ferry,” Morrison said.
She said they lured him into their car with a McChicken hamburger from McDonald’s and held him until they reached their destination.
For the Morrison family, Nemo’s safe return is nothing short of a Christmas miracle.
Morrison expressed his gratitude to the family who helped bring him home, adding that Nemo is now back where he belongs and will be spoiled with many gifts and treats this holiday season.
