“This is a story that Hollywood would love to inform,” the adoption society mentioned in a social media put up.
Mishka had disappeared from Mr Houman’s office and Corinne Martin, director of the animal welfare group, believes the canine was “stolen after which it was bought and ended up in Michigan”.
After being checked over and given a rabies shot, Mishka was cleared to return to her California home.
“She was clear (and) well-fed. Whoever had her took excellent care of her,” vet Nancy Pillsbury advised The Associated Press.
“How she received right here – that is a narrative solely Mishka is aware of.”
