Mocha, who is also called Tessa, was reunited with her joyful owners on Saturday after being missing for 10 days. Mocha was a rescue dog from Greece.
Ten days after she went missing, Mocha — a stray Greek dog that was brought to Canada last month — has been found.
“We’re tired and ecstatic,” said Cain Knoechel, Mocha’s owner, adding the dog is “safe, sound and smelly.”
Mocha, or Tessa as she’s also called, was found near Greenwood and Sammon Aves., around 3 p.m. Saturday.
A family living in the area called Knoechel, thanks to a home phone number on the dog’s collar, after Mocha was spotted hanging around behind a shed.
Mocha had only been in the country for 10 days before she ran away near Taylor Creek Park in late September. The dog came to Canada through Tails from Greece, a Toronto charity that finds Canadian homes for Greek stray dogs.
For days, the 2-year-old Weimaraner eluded search efforts, despite a round-the-clock hunt and consultation with an animal psychic. Searchers scoured the area of Woodbine Ave., Main St., Danforth Ave. and Lumsden Ave., calling “ella Mocha” (the Greek word for come).
When she got home, she went straight to the food and water dish — though Knoechel said she thinks people in the area were giving Mocha treats.
The dog herself is not a “happy, jumpy dog” — since her return, she’s spent all her time in bed, so it’s hard to know how Mocha feels, her owner says.
“But we’re ecstatic. She’s a keeper.”
