As a pet owner, it’s not uncommon to experience the overwhelming fear that comes with losing your beloved furry companion. Although most of the time it turns out to be nothing serious, every now and then the situation can seem more alarming. Alan Whitton, a resident of England, found himself in such a predicament when his dog Mitzi went missing. Despite searching for two days straight, he began to lose hope – until an unexpected glimmer of hope appeared.
One morning, Alan was out for a stroll with his furry friend, Mitzi, when they came across a huge canine. Being just a year old, the Jack Russell terrier was frightened and ran away. Despite searching high and low, Alan couldn’t find her anywhere. Hence, he turned to social media to seek assistance in locating Mitzi. To his amazement, the community rallied behind him, with several individuals offering to help, leaving him overwhelmed by their support.
Alan received a call from a kind-hearted dog walker two days after Mitzi vanished. The woman’s furry companions were sniffing around a fox hole, and she had a hunch that Mitzi could be taking refuge inside. Without any delay, Alan rushed to the spot with a few like-minded helpers and Mitzi’s beloved toy. Upon reaching, he squeaked the toy and heard a faint whimper coming from the burrow. Without second thoughts, he knelt down and rescued her!
On Facebook, a video was shared in which Alan can be observed trying his best to get to Mitzi before she comes out and jumps right into his arms. It’s apparent that her father isn’t bothered about the dirt on both of them. He simply embraces her tightly and sheds tears because he is ecstatic to reunite with his beloved friend.
Mitzi was rescued and thankfully, she wasn’t hurt despite being dirty and frightened. Alan expressed gratitude to his community through online messages and shared his overwhelming joy upon reuniting with Mitzi.
The touching meeting between Alan and his dog would not have taken place if his neighbors had not intervened. This event highlights how a small act of kindness can make a big difference to someone who is in need!
