Lost Dog Found With Reverse Phone Number Lookup

A reverse phone number lookup helped a Maine family find the dog they lost while on vacation.

Alfie, the family dog, ran away when the Thompson family was camping hours away.

Jackie Thompson said Alfie probably saw a rabbit or a porcupine and took off while the family was hiking.

She said the whole family and their neighbors at the campground where they were staying helped search for the dog. After staying an extra day to look for the dog, the family went to a nearby copy shop and made some lost dog posters to plaster around the park and get back to work before using another sick day.

Several days later, the Thompsons got a phone call they could barely make out. They heard a partial address, but it was impossible to make out anything even the name of the town. They tried calling back, but nobody ever answered, their calls went straight to voice mail. For another couple days, there was nothing.

Eventually the Thompsons turned to an online phone finder to do a reverse lookup on the number. They put in the number — it was a cell phone number out of a small town 10 miles away from their camp site. Jackie took another day off and drove out to the town.

She pulled up at the address — a farm at the edge of a small town. And as soon as she got out of the car, Alfie was charging at her from behind the farmhouse.

It turned out that the phone they used was a cell phone the family used only in emergencies. So they shut it down once they walked away from the lost dog poster. They just assumed the family had given up.

But with the help of an online cell phone number finder, Alfie and his family were reunited.
