By Dan Bloom A Staffordshire bull terrier stolen more than five years ago has turned up 500 miles away in Scotland. Ellie disappeared in 2009 after her owner tied her up for two minutes outside a newsagent in Bere Regis, Dorset - and despite a lengthy search she was not seen again. That was until last week, when the microchipped pet was finally reunited with her shocked 36-year-old owner Sharon Collins after being found wandering the streets of Kirkcaldy, Fife. Scroll down for video Gonna be there next to you: Ellie the staffie may have walked 500 miles after turning up in Scotland five years after she was stolen from owner Sharon Collins (left) - or she may have been driven there and escaped
