Laela, a dachshund

Fox 8 News Helps Fire Victims Find Lost Dog

CLEVELAND-- A Cleveland family lost everything in a house fire on Saturday but will be celebrating anyway this Thanksgiving.

Jack and Carol Gibbons' three dogs escaped the fire by breaking though a fence.

Two of the dogs were later found but not their dachshund, named Laela. Fox Eight News reported the story on Tuesday night at six o'clock and a viewer realized the dog she rescued was, in fact, Laela.

She made a call to the Gibbons.

"After you guys ran the story at six o'clock within 10 minutes, in fact I looked at my cell phone and it was eleven minutes after six, somebody called and said I think we have your dog," said John Gibbons.

The reunion took place moments later.

"We were full of tears and sadness today. The tears we shed this evening were those of joy. We couldn't be more happy to have our baby girl back with us," said an emotional Gibbons.

The Gibbons home will be re-built and they are overjoyed to have their 'family' back together.
