Volunteers reunite man, missing dog

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Thanks to the help of volunteers, a 10-week-old puppy missing since last month has been reunited with her owner.
Mia has lost almost 20 pounds since she went missing. She is bruised and badly scraped, but is home.
Mia went missing on February 25 after falling out of a dog trailer driven by her trainer.
"He heard it, looked in his rear view mirror, saw it was open immediately pulled over to the side and saw she was gone," owner Greg Taylor recalled.
Mia's ride began on Arno Road in Williamson County and her trainer discovered her missing on Briley Parkway in Nashville. It was a lot of ground to cover.
"We started that Thursday night, we spent all night long," Taylor continued. "We covered every inch of the path."
Taylor told News 2 he didn't sleep for days. He made fliers, sent emails and with the help of volunteers, spent days searching.
Volunteers Judy Johnson and Lana Russell didn't give up and were still searching Tuesday afternoon.
Just as they were about to give up, the women decided to retrace the route where Mia was lost one more time.
It paid off. Mia was found near a fence along Briley Parkway between Clarksville Pike and White's Creek Pike.
After a quick phone call to Turner, who was just minutes away, man and best friend were reunited.
Taylor told News 2 he never lost faith that he would find Mia, adding, "I was determined that we would find her with God's help, and we did. He gave us a miracle. He gave us a miracle of people like [Johnson and Russell]."
