Never give up searching, never give up hope if your pet disappears.
An email I received yesterday evening absolutely made my day. I could probably say it made my whole week! Finding a lost dog with no identification defies all odds and almost certainly requires perseverance. When I got the first email a couple of weeks ago I could sense desperation in the lady's heart. After the family pup had seemingly vanished into thin air from the yard, they had searched the area, called all local rescues, and posted flyers but turned up nothing. She contacted me asking for help. As much as I wanted to give her the answer, I felt helpless. All I could do was offer a few pointers and a link to the article I'd written, How to Find a Lost Dog. For days, she kept me updated on their search and I encouraged her as much as I could. These people would not give up, and finally yesterday, the good news came. The trick seemed to be when she posted a reward. Isn't it amazing how money motivates! Neighbors started scrambling and clues were connected. The dog has been found, alive and well, and now sports a new collar with identification. They are all one happy family once again. In a world that suffers too much tragedy, here's one happy ending!
