Elizabeth Hurley Finally Reunited With Dog  7/6/05

British model Elizabeth Hurley is thrilled she's finally been reunited with her beloved pet dog Emily - because she was convinced the Labrador had been kidnapped after it went missing last month (JUN05).

Hurley and fiancé Arun Nayar enrolled friends and family to search the area surrounding her Kensington, London home after the eight-month-old dog vanished.

And her fears were exacerbated by recent crime reports that up to 2,000 dogs are being kidnapped a month in Britain.

But a dog warden finally found the canine and was surprised when the dog's microchip collar revealed its famous owner.

Hurley says, "I'm absolutely over the moon."
