I know the absolute heartache and worry that accompanies a lost pet. I lost my cat for 28 days. I lost my job looking, lost 12 pounds, walked 7 hours a day, put up 600 fliers. I did not have a great outcome, but I admire your resolve and persistence in finding her. Bravo! And that woman, Donna, deserves a medal.

@@kiko7247 I know what you mean about cats having 2 families. My cat's best friend, Cookie, came to my house every evening, had some dinner, played with catnip on the couch and then departed for adventures with his girlfriend one street over. I called my house his "Gentleman's Club."

He presents training in 7 days. Each of 7 items are commands that he believes a dog should know. They are presented in part ii of the book kzread.infoUgkxK8-VQWpYThx4IC6MiIvb6VS1ebTzzdxq . The parts of the guideare divided: part i know your dog part ii the seven commands part iii cures for 7 behavior problems. Each chapter presents a topic, a dog's story, and a "what to do". It was written simply and you can jump from chapter to chapter to review anything as needed.

How AWFUL to keep seeing her on camera and not be able to reach her. There just aren't enough words of praise for the people who helped bring her home. But now she's back home and safe and loved. My heart is singing! I'm so happy for Leia and her family.

I bike the B&A trail through anne arundel a few times a week. Seeing undated signs is depressing. People should date the signs and write that they will remove them or ask for a call before removing. I also have helped people look for dogs in the area, and fast food restaurants allowed us to put signs in the drive thru windows which resulted in a customer who worked at the airport call us to say he thinks he saw a dog along the airport cargo fence line. The dog was in the perimeter fence when we found him. It was a grueling 3 days of going through the woods in the airport parks where people bike and watch planes taking off. Date signs, use fast food drive thrus.🐶

Imagine what this poor dog went through. So glad you persisted and got her back. Hopefully she will overcome the stress she suffered and will once again enjoy her life

Thank you for not giving up. So glad she home

This story has a wonderful ending. Had a similar thing happen 60 years ago. I still remember the pain we suffered before the joyous relief. We had a happy ending too. Best wishes ❤

Wow. What a story. Poor girl, was alone for over 3 months! Hounds are sensitive dogs anyway, without that kind of trauma. I'm sure in time Leia will relax again. And, even it may take years, it's obvious these two people love her to pieces and will do everything in their power to make her feel safe and secure again. And kudos to Donna for all the help she provided in finding your girl!

Glad she is back home. I have a 7 yr old beagle who looks identical to Leia. Her name is Stella and she is MY baby. She has separation anxiety so needs to be with me at all times.

Humans who love animals are beautiful. That lady Donna is a Saint.

Our cat Maisie was missing for 2 months, one of the worst times of my life. So many people helped us in the odyssey to get her home. She’s now curled up asleep on my lap as I watch this, and I’m so grateful to have her back.

Amen!!! I would’ve done the same thing!! How would anyone stop looking for such a cherished member of the family! It breaks my heart to hear people say after their dog goes missing - oh I’m sure they’re gone forever and they stop looking! There is NO WAY I would ever give up looking… never!

Not 100 days, but my mom's dog Abby disappeared during a snowstorm where it was dropping into negatives at night. Three days later she reappeared on the doorstep and it was clear she'd been caught in a noose trap. Noose traps are legally supposed to be checked every day in that area, so someone was completely negligent and we are so lucky she came home. Similar to Leia, she became a much more affectionate dog after that.

My dog, Atreyu, ran away for 12 days and I barely slept or ate. I was so worried and felt like I lost a child. Thank God we found him. I cannot imagine 100 days OMG! I'm so happy baby boy is back home safe 💜

Wow, Awesome video ! Tears Of Joy for Leia being found on the 100th Day!!!! Yay!!!!! I lost my kitty and she was gone for 99 days and some 'friends of a dog park' right next door donated a 'have a heart' trap and she was in the cage on the 2nd morning crying like a real baby !! I had Tears of Joy !!! She is 12 now and that was 11 years ago. :)❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I know hind sight is 20/20. I was thinking it may have helped to put clothing items from her owners in the trap. Anyway, I'm so happy baby girl is back home. Thank you to everyone involved in her safe return.

I am sooooo glad you got her back and she is doing well!!!!!

And THAT'S how you find a lost pupper! Awesome support and PERSISTENCE! So glad you found her!

My goodness. I'm glad she's safe again at home. Lost 1/3 of her weight. Hope she's slowly regaining her weight. Donna. What an angel. And the engineer who made the trap. Another angel. Your husband had to move for a new job. Must have been hard for him to not be there. Well, all is well now. :)

Thanks to everyone who participated in making this family whole again. Please tag and microchip your pets. You never know what could happen. 😊❤️🐶

I'm so happy you were able to trap her! She had been through such an awful beginning and then found love and happiness only to lose it in a moment. She must have been as frightened as both of you were so thank God she went into that one last trap!

GOD BLESS these people for adopting these beautiful animals!!

My BIGGEST nightmare is losing any of my babies. I would just die. Just thinking about it makes me want to vomit LOL I am SO happy that this angel is home, safe and loved. What a scary journey that must have been for her too. Poor baby girl.

Now at 35 years old, he has developed heart problems. He has been living on the streets.....in and out of jail... of San Jose CA for the last 5 years. He has finally started to take his Meds on a regular basis and is applying for disability and housing. I truly LOVE my son, but he is impossible to live with.

Nearly the exact same happened to me and a dog named Meg. She escaped from a new house we had just moved into, it took 6 months to find and trap her, thanks to a wonderful group near us. She had not lost any weight in all that time, strangely it was around Christmas she was first seen. We are ever thankfully for that wonderful group, there are some brilliant people around.

Well, very glad you got your fur baby back! BTW, there is now a gps that can go on a dog’s collar; I have seen it advertised in some dog magazines. It runs about $100.00. Because all it takes is a couple of minutes; usually the story I hear is that the dog took off after some deer and now can’t be found. Again, really glad you got your dog back and all the hard work paid off.

I could cry. It would kill me to lose my dog! Thank goodness you found her! Bless you all

A GPS tag is definitely a great investment and worth every dollar! Glad you got your pup back.❤️🐶
