They spent the next six months putting up lost dog posters, but there was no sign of Lucy.
But after the family nearly lost all hope Ms Brodie was contacted by a woman named Sandie.
Sandie said a dog matching Lucy’s description had been visiting her house on a daily basis to play with her pug named Milo.
Sandy told Brodie the dog was ‘skittish’, wouldn’t accept food and had been living in nearby bushland in Burns Beach.
Ms Brodie went out to the property at Burns Beach, but Lucy was nowhere to be seen.
After enlisting the help of K9 Welfare Mission WA a trap was set up on Sandie’s front porch and Lucy was caught at 2.30 am on Tuesday.

‘We immediately got in the car with my wee girl Alexx and headed to Sandie’s house and at 3am we were reunited with our baby girl Lucy,’ Ms Brodie said.
‘For a small rescue dog, who is very skittish, to survive for six months on her own, and to travel from Hillarys to Burns Beach, is a miracle.’
