Puppy Found

The lost puppy we wrote about yesterday was found. I received the following note from the owner, with the story of how the puppy was found...

I wrote in yesterday about my puppy being lost. You were kind enough to headline my story on your wonderful website and I am truly thankful for that. I was wondering if you could post another story about my dog and two very special people here in Menifee.

My sons and I put flyers up all around Menifee today, I called all the local pet shops, vets, the humane society and the Ramona Animal Shelter. About 5pm my son's phone rang -- a woman was calling to tell us she had spotted our dog in the construction site at Lindenberger and Simpson. I couldn't believe it because that meant she would have been more than 24 hours outside (in that wind last night!) and she only weighs nine pounds.

The woman said she had tried to chase the dog down but our dog was scared and keep running away. Another family saw the woman chasing the dog and told her they had seen a flyer at target with a dog on it like the one she was chasing. The woman got in her car, left the construction site, drove back to target to get the flier and our number, the family stayed outside all this time at the construction site trying to get our dog back and finally, their little daughter chased the dog for some time and caught up with her and was finally able to catch her!

She eventually brought the dog back to her home in the Richmond homes. They called us with directions to their home and we were able to get our beloved puppy back! The woman's name is Donna and the little girl is a 6th grader at Bell Mountain Middle School, her name is Jacqueline. we are so thankful for these good samaritans, these angels who helped reunite sole with us.

I am a widow with four young sons, the youngest is only age 4. Losing our puppy was devastating. I cannot express how grateful I am to you, for putting our story on your website and how thankful I am to Donna, Jacqueline and her parents. Neither would accept a reward from us. I don't know if you can thank them publicly (maybe without our last names?) for us or write about how there still are kind people in this world, some right here in Menifee!

Thank you so much. sincerely, Anna

Nice to know there's a happy ending in this.
