An Unforgettable Discovery
During a typical Sunday, Perla Vanessa felt a pang of anxiety. Her beloved pup, Leia, was missing. The bond they shared was irreplaceable, and the realization that Leia wasn’t around was terrifying.
Vanessa shared her distress on TikTok, “In the ten years that I have had her, this has never happened before but it only takes that one time to scar you.”
Leia wasn’t wearing her collar with the Airtag, making it impossible for anyone to identify her. Vanessa knew posters were her best chance to bring Leia back home.
She spent the entire Sunday putting up posters, asking neighbors if they had seen Leia, “By Sunday night, I was balling my eyes out, running up and down the block hysterically.”
Neighborhood Surprise
To Vanessa’s shock, everyone had seen Leia. Neighbors told her that Leia was having a delightful time in their yards, enjoying playdates.
“She is microchipped but that doesn’t mean that they are going to take her to the shelter anyways,” Vanessa stated, describing her continued worry on Monday.
Finally, because of the posters, a neighbor who had Leia contacted her. They had Leia since Sunday night but didn’t know who to call until they saw the posters.
Just as the neighbor was preparing to take Leia to the shelter, they noticed the posters and reached out to Vanessa, bringing relief and joy.
Reunited at Last
With Leia back in her arms, Vanessa began the task of taking down the missing posters. Leia accompanied her, blissfully unaware of the trouble she had caused.
Vanessa was undoubtedly relieved, “Now she is back home and she is never leaving my side ever again,” she concluded, expressing her joy and determination.
As they removed the posters, the bond between them seemed even stronger. Leia’s little adventure became a story of love and reunion that touched everyone who heard it.
For Vanessa, the ordeal was an emotional rollercoaster, but the outcome was the best she could have hoped for. Leia was safe and sound, and that was all that mattered.
New Beginnings
The neighborhood now knew Vanessa and Leia very well. Their story had spread, and their bond was admired by many.
Vanessa’s determination and the community’s involvement played a crucial role in bringing Leia back home. The experience highlighted the power of community and love.
With Leia back, Vanessa felt a renewed sense of joy and security. She vowed to always keep a closer eye on her furry friend.
Their story serves as a reminder of the lengths we go for our pets and the joy they bring into our lives. Vanessa and Leia’s journey is one of hope, love, and unwavering companionship.

Did Vanessa consider using social media other than TikTok? Maybe a broader reach could’ve helped faster.

Why wasn’t Leia wearing her collar with the Airtag? Seems like a crucial mistake.
