Jack & Jill, beagles

Jack and Jill have been found!!!
As told to Find Toto
Lost Date : 2014-06-02
Found Date : 2014-06-10


THANKS so much for the outpouring of care and concern for us as we continued our search for Jack and Jill, our precious beagles.

We had shared the part of the story that we took the beagles to a rabbit run in another county and were in total despair that we were so foolish to take them 50 miles away from home with no micro chip or GPS collars. The dogs jumped the training pen in 20 minutes chasing a deer and were lost in the woods in an unrecognizable area.

What hope could we have of finding our precious pets? Well, after ELEVEN days of heart-wrenching searches and disappointments, I wanted to share today’s unbelievable story:

A wonderful couple called us at 5:30 Friday morning. Jack had sneaked into their garage to scrounge for cat food. He was starving, but still standing.

The couple had received a phone call from findToto.com and recognized immediately that Jack was one of the missing beagles. The alert system contacted 1275 residents in this small community, and by the week’s end, everyone in the area knew to be on the lookout for our dogs.

The couple secured Jack for us until we could get to their home.

We continued to look for Jill for 2 1/2 hours in that area with no luck. While we were out in the woods searching, the SAME couple that had found Jack went to the hardware store and on the way home saw Jill stick her head out of the woods TWO miles away and contacted us to call Jill out of the woods!! What are the odds? And on top of that, these guardian angels would not take a penny in reward.

Our vet said the window of survival for house dogs in the wild is 72 hours. The area is known for coyotes and other night predators. He could not believe they both made it.

They are certainly weak and in need of TLC, but we are over the moon to have them home.

Several lessons learned here; never doubt the power of prayer, the love of friends and family, and the simple joy of having pets you cherish. What a glorious, unbelievable day. Thank you, Lord, for watching over them and us, and to all those who helped us along the way to this incredibly happy ending, including findtoto.com!
