A pitbull named Zeus was stolen from his Butte, Montana family two months ago. When the alleged dognapper was captured in West Virginia, Zeus was still with him.

一隻名叫「宙斯」的比特犬，2個月前被從位於蒙大拿州巴特的家人身邊偷走。當擄狗犯在西維吉尼亞州落網時，宙斯還在他身邊。

Fortunately for Zeus and his family, he was microchipped. His family was found, but getting him home wasn’t that easy. Many airlines have banned pitbulls from flying.

對宙斯及其家人而言，所幸宙斯身上有晶片，得以找到牠的家人，但把宙斯送回家並非易事。許多航空公司禁止搭載比特犬。

A network of dog-loving volunteers came into play and put together a relay of drivers to give Zeus a lift back home： 15 volunteers traveling 2,000 miles across nine states in four days.

一個愛狗義工網絡因此介入，拼湊出一個讓宙斯搭便車回家的駕駛人接力隊：15名義工在4天內橫越9個州行駛2000英里。

A Kansas City radio station got wind of the trip and did a live report on Facebook during one of the handoffs.

堪薩斯城的一家廣播電台得知這趟送狗之旅後，在其中一段接力送狗過程中做了「臉書」直播。
