He was all over the news after surviving a gas chamber intended to put him down, and now Daniel, dubbed the "Miracle Dog," is visiting "Anderson," with the couple that adopted him, Joe and Geralynn.
In October, the 20-pound beagle Daniel was found as a stray and sent to an overcrowded animal shelter in Florence, Alabama. He was scheduled to be euthanized with 18 other dogs, but somehow survived the death sentence without even getting sick.
"They're saying that the weight of gas is heavier than air, and maybe he got an air pocket," says Linda Schiller, founder of the dog rescue group Eleventh Hour Rescue. "But it's a one in a million shot that an animal would survive the gas chamber. Some people really just think it's a miracle."
Joe and Geralynn worked with Eleventh Hour Rescue to adopt Daniel, who was wanted by hundreds families after news spread of his incredible survival story.
