Striper was lost last week while being foster cared for in Bethel while his owner was moving, but wandered away.
An as yet unidentified samaritan found Striper in Danbury, close to 4 miles away from where he wandered off, when he came to her yard to investigate food that she puts out for local strays.
Striper, who was confirmed by a scan chip, was reported to be in good health and was returned to Bethel.
