Cleo, a 4-year-old Labrador retriever mix who disappeared from her home in Kansas earlier this month and turned up a few days later at her old home in Missouri.

When a yellow Labrador named Cleo went missing from Olathe, Kansas, her owners were very surprised to hear she had been found in Lawson, Missouri.

Cleo had somehow traveled to her owner's former home, more than 50 miles away.

I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers.
