The Alsatian mix went missing more than a year ago in West Sacramento, California.O'Neil was in shock as she got the news of hishomecoming.
O'Neil named her dog afterher favourite band, Led Zeppelin. She said that he isa friendly dog andused to visit a construction site near the house where workers used to give him treats. After getting pets and treats, he would come home, or the owner fetched him. However, one evening, O'Neil could not find Zeppelin anywhere, noteven in his regular zones.
After many unsuccessful inquiries, she turned to Facebook. In addition, she held onto the fact that Zeppelin was a microchipped dog andhoped for the German shepherd to return.

Mary Hastings, a Californian woman, volunteered to drive Zeppelin home.
The family missed having him around and is delighted to have him back. During the press conference, the family expressed gratitude to Mary for her help.
Before he went missing, Zeppelin fathered a litter of puppies. They were only a few weeks old when he disappeared. O'Neil kept two of them, Angus and Sweet Pea, while she gave away the rest.
