Christmas Miracle 🎄 | Santa finds his lost dog 🎅🐶

Mickey is now in the hospital.

MARIETTA, Ga. — Santa's Christmas wish came true! He found his lost dog.

Allen McCahren plays Santa Claus at local malls each year.

He and his wife Lynn have a chocolate Labrador named Mickey. Mickey disappeared on Dec. 4 when he escaped the fence at their Marietta home.

The McCahrens were worried because he has severe arthritis in his back legs and he went days without his medication. Without it, it's hard for him to walk. 

Around noon on Dec. 12, Lynn said her husband found Mickey trying to get back into their yard. He was tangled up in some ivy.

Lynn said Mickey is now in the hospital, being treated for his injured leg. She said he will need antibiotics. 

"He's a strong boy," said Lynn. "He's an old boy, but he's a strong boy."

Lynn said the veterinarian believes Mickey will recover fine. 

When others heard he was missing, Lynn said she and her husband received an outpouring of support from the community.

"We've had some of the most wonderful people coming to help us look for him," Lynn said.

She's grateful for Santa's helpers and that Mickey is safe.
