Five pets from Saskatchewan have made it home after being discovered by a Highway Patrol officer on Vancouver Island.  

The officer was patrolling Highway 1 on the Malahat just after 2 p.m. on May 24 when he noticed the driver of a blue sedan giving him strange looks. 

He ran the plates on the car, which were from Ontario, and found the driver was wanted on a Canada-wide warrant issued in Saskatchewan.  

After the officer pulled over the car, he found the 36-year-old Ontario man driving and arrested him.
