The owners of a dog who escaped from pet couriers at Melbourne Airport last month will soon be reunited with their beloved pet.
Milo the Jack Russell X was preparing to board a pet carrier flight to the United Kingdom, where his owner Jason Whatnall relocated to with his partner.
But while his owner was already in the air, Milo had managed to evade the care of handlers and bolted from the airport on March 18.
A combined effort with members of the public, animal rescue groups and the pet carrier service attempted to catch Milo, who kept running away from anyone who tried to get close.
The dog was finally caught after almost three weeks on the run.
His owner posted to Facebook this morning confirming that Milo had finally boarded his flight to London.
"Milo is on the way," he said.
"We are in London for the night, all ready (for) the big reunion that we've all been waiting for."
