Losing a Pet

Just over a year ago, Destructo was only a few weeks old, our dogs were let loose from our back yard. It took us almost 4 hours before we even noticed them gone. With the help of friends, the neighborhood was searched, their name were called. That night we went to bed wondering if we were ever going to see them again. The next morning we went to Kinko's and printed 50 colored copies of fliers with a picture of both dogs and a REWARD offered. Again, our friends gathered to help us hang fliers. Within 48 hours of our dogs missing, we got a phone call that one family had Hailey, (our brown dog). She was found limping down the street (she has arthritis) and was taken in by this family who saw our fliers hanging in the neighborhood. She was returned safely and the family refused to except the reward. The Handy Hottie then put an ad on Craigslist for our other dog and another 24 hours later we got a call that another family had found Dakota. This family had found him the morning after he went missing sleeping on their front porch. They gave him a bath and fed him. The kids fell in love with him and they decided that if they couldn't find the owners, the would keep him. But luckily they saw our ad and called us, also refusing to accept a reward.



This story has come to my mind lately b/c for the last two weeks or so there has been this flier hanging in our neighborhood and the surrounding area. My heart breaks for the family who is missing their dog Petey. I know the pain associated with losing a pet and I hope Petey is returned safely to this family. If you have any information, if you've spotted this dog wondering around, if you are the kind family who found this dog and are giving it food and a bed, please call this devastated family.
