Modern technology has helped reunite a dog rescued from a forest fire in the Ozarks with his owners.

The Christian County Sheriff says "Tubby" was identified after vets scanned for a microchip and found his owner's contact information.

Danica Paul told the sheriff some of her animals got scattered when she was evacuated ahead of the fire threat. All of them came back except for Tubby - she thought he died in the fire. He's now back home.
