A man who lost his dog while staying in Edmonton has successfully been reunited with his dog after he rented a large billboard to post up his lost dog's information. The black Labrador Retriever went missing in October when the man and the dog were staying in Edmonton, Alberta at the pet-friendly Quality Inn.
As soon as his dog went missing the man rented the portable sign and got permission from the hotel to place the sign up on their property. The hotel staff helped in the search for the dog. "This is a person who really values his dog and I can appreciate that,” said Lillian Pushor, general manager of Quality Inn. "They become a part of your family...so we were just happy to help."
The sign certainly helped. It's now plastered with "FOUND! Thank you Jennifer, Alex & Morgan!" after the man's dog was successfully returned.
The company that rents out the signs says it's the first time they've ever rented one for a lost pet. The billboard would have cost the man between $150 to $200 to rent for a few weeks. He also offered a $200 reward for whoever found his dog.
Pushor says she's glad the pair reunited. "It’s gotten cold and we don't want to see an animal die because they can't find their owner. It's a very happy ending. We're really happy about this,” she said.
