Every pet pawrent's worst nightmare is to wake up one day and discover their pet has disappeared. That they somehow got out, and no one has seen them for hours. No one wants to be faced with the possibility that something has happened to their pawdorable companion while they were not paying attention.

However, as much as we all would love to avoid these scenarios, sometimes they just happen, and we have to deal with the outcome. So, when one day your pet decides to go out there and explore the great outdoors, it is up to you to ensure they find their way back home.

Pawrents use every method known to man to look for a lost pet. They put up lost posters, go door-to-door and ask their neighbors if they've seen something, log on to their forgotten Facebook and post pictures in every group that might help, and call all their friends and family to organize a search group. All to find their beloved furriend and bring them home.

  • That is exactly what the awwesome doggo owner did in the story below when they discovered their blind doggo was nowhere to be found. They spent all night looking for their sweet pup, and even enlisted the rest of the neighborhood to help out.

    Luckily, they found the silly doggo the morning after, in the most unexpected yet expected places of all…

    My "Lost" Dog

    Last night, as I'm driving home from work, I get a call from my kid. "Has anyone called you recently? Because the dog has gotten out and we can't

    find her, and your number is on her tag." No one had called. I arrive home and immediately join the search. At this point it's about 7pm.

    We search. We get neighbors involved in the search. We get people we don't even know out searching.

    (At one point, a woman I've never met pulls up to me and says, "We're out looking for a dog." I say, "I know, it's my dog. Thank you for helping!")

    By around 9pm it is full dark. We keep searching. We get a report from a neighborhood Facebook group that the dog was

    driveway. I get permission to search that neighbor's yard. Can't find the dog. It's now 1am. I've been searching for six hours.

    I finally give up at 2:30am. I set an alarm for 5:15am -a little before sunrise - so I can resume the search. This morning, I trace the route of a creek that runs

    My wife prints flyers and I start posting them around the neighborhood. We call the police department and animal control.

    At around 8:30 this morning, I go to check another neighbor's yard. While I'm out, I look over the fence into the property I had checked at 1am... and

    Obviously, I'm thrilled we found her, but what a stupid evening.

    ScheduleSame258 She was probably searching along with you guys going, "What are we looking for guys?"

    PinkyLeopard2922 This reminds me of a news story where I think some woman joined up with a search party looking for a missing person. It was her. The person they were searching for was her.

    Classybroker1 Went camping with my dog and he escaped. Ran after him for 3 hours shouting through a campsite. Gave up and as soon as I go back to me tent, he sprints in ahead of me and lies in bed. So frustrating but I love them

    Remarkable_Inchworm OP Yeah, lesson learned there. She's a (mostly) indoor dog and mostly blind.

    She sometimes needs assistance finding her way from the living room to her food bowl. Where's she gonna go, right? Dog GPS thing being acquired today.

    HomersDonut 1440 We learned long ago that you stop chasing them after 20 minutes. Drop some of your clothes (unwashed) where you last saw them or where you think they went. They'll wander back, smell you, and stay there. It works nearly every time.

    Remarkable Inchworm OP Would have worked with our last dog. If she got out, all we really needed to do was open the car door. She'd be so excited to go for a ride she'd hop right in.

    This dog requires a bit more supervision. She's blind, but even before she was blind she didn't have a strong sense of self-preservation. It's really a wonder she didn't get hit by a car.

    EmilyAnne1170 I was afraid you were going to say she was at home under the bed the whole time. Same outcome, pretty much.

    Remarkable_Inchworm OP I suspect she had squeezed under the neighbor's deck or some other similarly tight space for the evening... she was pretty dirty when I found her.
