Lost 7/13/2011, Alert 7/18/2011, Found 7/18/2011
I can not thank FINDTOTO.COM and the honest neighborhood citizen enough times that called me in helping bring our Riko back home!!!
I had just got done confirming with Krislyn from FINDTOTO.COM of the text to be sent out, her email was timestamped 5:10pm ET that she was going to send out shortly and wishing me best of luck.
5:14pm ET I received a phone call from a gentleman stating he received the alert on his way out the house and had noticed his neighbor with a new dog that they recently just got and the dog fit my description.
I went to the police and asked for an escort to the house. As soon as I heard the dog bark as the police office knocked on the door, I KNEW it was our Riko!!!!
The officer asked if the dog was the lady's who answered the dog, and she stated 'no'. Her mother then came to the door and explained how her son brought the dog home after he was found wandering in the rain and he thought he was abandoned.
Riko had a collar on and is well trained. The lady told me I could have the dog food they bought for him, I told her no thanks.
They had my dog for 5 days and did not report him found to the SPCA, to any animal shelter or police. While I believe this family that had Riko took good care of him for the 5 days he was missing and am thankful for the care and that he was not abused or mistreated, I still also believe at the same time they had no intentions on trying to find his owner, otherwise they would have contacted the appropriate authorities when they found him, 5 days ago!
THANK YOU TO FINDTOTO.COM and "the neighbor" for all of your help!!!
I think the 4 min response time, from when alert was sent out to accurate lead phone call to owner, must be an all-time record for FINDTOTO.COM!
THANK YOU THANK YOU!
