KEY POINTS:
Louis the dog's owners have found out about his secret 15-day stay in South Auckland.
Retriever Louis ran away from his Parnell home on New Year's Eve. His owners are overseas, and dog-sitter Edmond Stack kept Louis' disappearance a secret while he searched for the dog. But a friend read an article in the Herald about Louis' return and contacted them.
Said Mr Stack: "They were just happy that Louis was back safe and sound."
* Lucky, the kitten rescued by police on the motorway to Auckland airport, has been adopted by a staff member at the police northern communications centre.
