Court Ruling Could Reunite Dog And Owner After 5 Years

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) - A Sacramento woman and her dog could be reunited today after a five-year separation.

The dog, a little Pomeranian, went missing while in the care of a dog-sitter.

Several years passed and owner Donna Schwontkowski wrote a book about her missing dog.

Only then did her dog-sitter admit she gave away the pet.

"Most people say just give up, forget about it, get another dog," said Schwontkowski.  "I couldn't . There was something in me."

Donna filed a lawsuit.

She even had to subpoena her dog, to ensure it will be at the courthouse.

A judge is set to rule on that case today.
