"Elizabeth and Frank Brazier's trip to Indiana in 1923 turned into every dog-lover's nightmare. Their beloved collie, Bobbie, disappeared. They returned to Oregon heartbroken, resigned to never again see their beloved pet.
Seven months later, Bobbie showed up at the Braziers' front door. "The Wonder Dog" -- as Bobbie would soon be known -- had braved blizzards, traversed mountains and miraculously navigated nearly 3,000 miles.
Bobbie is one of many incredible animals that found their way back to the people they loved despite seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
Joker, a cocker spaniel, was not content to sit at home while his owner, Army Capt. Stanley C. Raye, headed off for military service during World War II. Joker sneaked out of the house, stowed away on a ship, and, using only his nose, located Raye on a secret base in the South Pacific.
"If a miracle is something that happens without physical explanation and seems to defy everything we know about a particular aspect of our world, then these are miracles," said Brad Steiger, who co-authored "Four-Legged Miracles: Heartwarming Tales of Lost Dogs' Journeys Home," with his wife, Sherry Hansen Steiger.
The Steigers have been writing books together about the phenomenal and the paranormal for 26 years. They told The Huffington Post that "Four-Legged Miracles," which hits the shelves Tuesday, includes some of the "most dramatic" of the animal tales they've encountered."
