Hi Krislyn,
Thank You so much for your help. I did find my dog within 10 minutes of the phone calls. Unfortunetly, he was found across the street from my house floating dead in the canal. But, I have closure now. He was missing for 5 days. I have spread the word around about your site. I think it is fantastic. I am also writing an editorial article this week-end about the dog and the rescuers, and I am definetly going to mention your web site in there. Again, thanks so much for everything.

Drake from WA - found 7/20/08
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Within 5 minutes of the call going
out I had 3 incoming calls from people who had seen my dog, within 15
minute I had 5 calls, within an hour of the call going out I had my
precious baby back, by that afternoon i basically knew the route he
had taken from the house to where he was pricked up.
I wish I had known about you sooner in than I did he might have only
spent one night away from home. I thought the testimonials from
people who had their dog back in 5 minutes were exaggeration, boy was
I wrong! We had moved 3 weeks ago and we live near a busy road so I
was sure he was on my side of it, turns out I was flyering on the
wrong side of it, without findtoto I would never have reached the
people on the other side who had my dog! He had gone almost a full mile.
I called my old vet to tell them about your service, I sang your
praises to the new vet, everyone was so excited by the service I just
wish more people knew about it.>br/>
Drake was lost on Saturday 7/18, I set up the findtoto.com at 10PM
7/19, the call went out at 9:05 AM 7/20 and the person who had him
called by 9:15, WOW just WOW, I cannot say enough about your wonderful
service, I cannot recommend it highly enough. Thank you again.

Hashmet from NY - found 7/18/08
Dear findtoto.com,
I am glad I called you to look for my lost cat.Withinminutes of my web
application, I started recieving calls from neighbors who had seen my cat. After
a few missed leads, I had two firm leads that my cat was seen at a neighborhood
summer camp. I went there and sat around for a couple of hours calling his name
and leaving fliers there. As I was driving out of the camp and turned towards a
residential area, two neighbors walked towards me, said if I was looking for a
lost cat. theyhad gotten the call from you and found the cat and kept it in
their house. Thanks to you, I found him. I will recommend your service highly.
Both Hashmet and I are grateful.
Sincerely,
Sophia
Calvin from TN - found 7/18/08
WOW!!! What a Fabulous service! We wish that we had found your website sooner. Calvin went missing on Wednesday, July 16. He is a 13 year old Chinese Sharpei who is blind and deaf. We felt surely he couldn't have gotten too far from home! We spent all afternoon walking our neighborhood looking for him and a sleepless night worrying about him. On Thursday, July 16, I spent time making and putting up posters, posting our search on a few websites and visiting local shelters looking for Calvin and becoming increasingly more concerned by the minute.. My husband emailed me with the Findtoto.com information that he had discovered on the internet. I was willing to try almost anything at that point. We signed up that afternoon and within 1 hour we were getting phone calls from neighbors we do not know wanting to help us. Amazingly, someone received their phone call and walked outside to find our dog!! We can not than k this service enough!! I sincerely believe we would not have found Calvin without their help.
Sincerely,
The Knights and Calvin

Rex from VA - found 7/15/08
A stranger from about a mile away had received the alert from toto.com
the day it went out. Then Saturday (by this time he had been missing
for a week) they saw a chocolate lab in their pasture and realized it
was Rex and called the number we had on your alert and also the reward
flyers we had all over town!!! I also had lots of people call saying
they hadn't seen him but would keep an eye out and call if they did!
I am very please with the service, it was worth every penny and now Rex
is back home with his loving family and we are all very relieved!!
Thanks for all your help and I will DEFINITELY be recommending your services to others!!!

Our neighbors had him, he got out on the 4th we were out of town so a friend of mine posted up flyers. I was at the animal shelter filling out the lost dog report and seen the findtoto.com website so I wrote down your number and website. When I got home I filled out the information and within 2 hours my dog was returned home. I have had a lot of people call me and ask how I found your company, and took down your info. I am so blessed to have found this website.

Brinkly from OK - found 7/7/08
Thank you so much for your service. Our dog "Brinkly" was missing on June 28,2008. For many days we tried to find him and put up posters. There wasn't anyone that had seen him. We live in a small community and my husband and in-laws have lived for 55yrs. Yesterday, July 6, I took advantage of your program at about 5:30p.m. This morning at 6:27a.m. we got a call from a lady who was on her way to work. She saw "Brinkly" about 3 miles from our home. She thought it might be our "Brinkly" so she stayed with him until we got there. YES, it was our Brinkly !!!!!!!! Thirteen hours after you had made your calls to our community , "Brinkly" was found after 8 long days. Thank you very,very much.
Murray from SC - found 7/4/08
Hi,
I hope everyone had a fun and safe 4th of July!
I used a service yesterday that I think EVERYONE should know about!!! It's called findtoto.com. If you EVER lose a pet, I highly recommend you use this service. You make a report and, for a small fee, they will contact up to 5,000 of your neighbors within the hour. I know in a seemingly helpless situation, it made me feel like I had a little more control.
Please share this information with everyone you know.
Thanks.

Ruby from TN - found 7/4/08
Thanks to findtoto.com, our baby girl Ruby is safe at home with us tonight. She was lost at 8pm on 7/3/2008 after the first firework of the season frightened her. We searched the surrounding area for almost 24 hours with no luck. I prayed for God to send her a guardian angel, and I found that angel in an unusual way when I came home and read about findtoto.com. I placed my order at 5:30pm on 7/4 and went out looking for her again. I received several concerned phone calls from neighbors offering to help look for her. I also spoke to several people in surrounding neighborhoods who had already received a call about Ruby being lost, only 30 minutes after my order was placed.
Ruby was found at 11:45pm on 7/4, after all the fireworks had settled down. She had run over a mile from our house across a busy highway and found shelter in a neighbors dog house. Findtoto.com turned out to be Ruby's guardian angel!

While vacationing in Arkansas with my family, my son was devestated when his Australian Shepherd ran off when he became scared by fireworks. This was a Saturday night. After posting hundreds of fliers and announcements on the radio, he ran across your website. I was skeptical, but reluctantly gave him the money to do the recording for 750 recordings. On the third day he received a call that Jake had been found. We were all thrilled that Jake made his way home. THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts!!!

Hi...I just wanted to let you know that my wonderful neighbors found my cat, Sophie, because of my flyers and your service. It was the double whammy of the flyer and phone call that reiterated my cat's name and situation to my neighbors. They found her hiding in our neighborhood storm drain eight days after she went missing! She was hungry and scared but she is now safe and sound again in my arms! I cannot thank you enough for helping me find my beloved family member.

Dakota from IN - found 6/29/08
On Saturday June 28, 2008, our New Foundland, Dakota was lost in the streets of Noblesville, Indiana unknowing of his surroundings and probably scared of the unfamiliarity that had overtaken him for almost 24 hours. My husband and I were distraught from this occurrence; how could we have lost our 130 pound dog? It was about 2:30 in the afternoon when Brian called the house. His voice sounded shaky and worried when I answered. He told me to come to his office as soon as I could, and when I asked why, he whispered the words I never thought I would hear. “Becki,” he said, “I can’t find Dakota.” Immediately I jumped in the car and drove as fast as I could to his office, where Brian and our other New Foundland, Sophie were waiting. At that point, we made posters and flyers, called the Humane Society and the police; anything that could help us get our dog back. We talked to all of our neighbors, called friends around town, all the while trying to hold back tears of sadness. From the point of Brian’s phone call at 2:30 until 10:00 that night, we searched and advertised our lost dog, hoping and praying that we would get him back. After a restless nights’ sleep, we woke before the light even broke into the curtains of our bedroom. Again, we searched and talked to passerby’s, but nothing seemed to breakthrough. Around 9:30 a.m., my sister, Vicki called and told us about a website, FindToto.com, an “amber alert for dogs.” We signed up at 10:00 a.m., paying for the 750 homes to receive a call about Dakota. On our way to the Humane Society, another desperate attempt to get Dakota back, Brian’s phone rang. A teenage girl was on the other line, who had heard the alert from FindToto.com, and she had found Dakota and had him at her house. It was only an hour and forty-five minutes after we signed up and someone had already found him! We raced over to find Dakota, soaking wet from the raging storm the night before, but nonetheless alive and thankfully found. We gave a reward to the little girl, thanking her over and over again for finding Dakota.
FindToto.com has been a great help to our family; without it, who knows if Dakota would be safely back in our arms. I would recommend this website to anyone who is searching for their lost pet, because chances are, it will work. It was well worth the little amount of money spent to call so many homes around the vicinity where Dakota was lost. We are nothing but thankful for FindToto.com, and owe our dogs safety to it.

Kandi from TN - found 6/17/08
Kandi is in my arms at this very moment. The lady that stole her called me and I picked her up at the station where she was stolen. She called me and told me she was parked at the back of the station. It took me an hour to drive there and I had to leave work . I drove so fast I wonder how I made it .The lady didn't want to be seen on the camera again so I went to the car and opened the door and took Kandi and I did not give her any money . I went to the front of the station and parked in front of cameraand waited for her to come to get the reward but she went out the back in a big hurry .Kandi was licking me and crying so bad it broke my heart. She has lost weight and I had to take her to the doctor because she had a dirty bottom and had rubbed it so bad that it was stolen and in bad shape , the doctor gave her a shot for stress and wouldn't take any money. He also worked on her bottom and he said it was so sad.
I wish I could give you a hug , you and your brother . Had it not been for you I would have never seen her again . I went in Pet Smart and there was some people in there talking about an Amber Alert that they had gotten , They said they never knew there was an Amber alert for animals .
I don't know how or why I found you but after I got off my knees I went to the computer and I sent you a message . So I thank God because he knew what I was to do . I have not stopped thanking God . I will always be thankful for you and your brother .
My God bless you for the good that you and brother are doing.
Forever Grateful.

Fischer from FL - found 6/2/08
My father and I filled out findtoto.com last night, even though I was very skeptical about my dad finding Fischer through telephone. Well, I was so wrong! We were sitting at dinner when my father's phone rang. I immediately jumped up and grabbed his phone. "Are you the one that has been calling about a dog?!" "yes sir" "We just got a phone call, looked outside, and saw a dog that looks like yours across the street!" We went to his house with dinner uneaten on our table. A man directed us to a house around the corner and Fischer came running into my arms from a garage. We are so happy and amazed that he is home so quickly. We will tell everyone about your service!!
Thanks so much....

Hi! I want to thank you guys SO MUCH for your service!!! My parent's dog, Jake, was found by a woman who received a call via your service only about 8 hours after the calls went out!

You also graciously responded to my request to post his picture on both the DC (where he was actually lost) and MD sites.

A miracle happened today. Our labradoodle, Jake, was lost in Washington, DC for four days and were it not for FindToto.com, we would have NEVER found him. A lady was walking her dog and spotted our labradoodle, Jake, hiding in a grassy hillside behind a strip mall on a very busy, six lane road. She had received the FindToto call alert and saw him when she was walking her dog. She called us from her cell phone and directed us to her location. He has an injured leg, possibly was hit by a car, but we have one happy household with our precious pet home again.
THANK YOU FINDTOTO.COM for giving us our little treasure back!

Katie from TX
I would like the thank you wholeheartedly for your services. I was contacted less than an hour after requesting the help, by one of your people making sure they had my correct address. I had filled out the form at work that morning, and on my way home, I got a phone call from a neighbor you had contacted! Katie had shown up in their garage. She had obviously been hit by a car, but seemed to be doing okay. I practically flew home to get her. My neighbor wouldn't accept a reward. I took Katie immediately to the vet. He said she was okay, but might have a couple of broken ribs. He gave her some antibiotics and pain meds, took some x-rays, and kept her overnight. She was doing pretty well the next day. I was so scared when she disappeared. Not only was I terrified something might happen to her, but she's also got a pretty strong heart murmur. Thank you so much for your service! My neighbor and I would never have found each other if it wasn't for your help. All of my focus was in a different direction. I am definitely telling everyone about your service, including rescue groups.

Lisa from IN - 5/19/08
We got our dog, Devon, back on May 14, 2008. Devon was found quite a way from our home so we are thinking that someone put him in a car. He was returned due to his microchip finally being read by a vet. (He was found on the day we lost him, but the woman did not have time to take him to a vet.) I received more calls than I can count with people who thought they saw Devon--apparently there actually is another reddish/gold golden retriever running through our neighborhood. I will continue to follow up on leads for this other dog and hopefully be able to take him/her to a vet to see if he/she has a microchip. I am sure someone is looking for this dog and is just as sick as I was over Devon. Although www.findtoto.com was not responsible for Devon's return, it totally was not for my neighbor's lack of looking. It was absolutely worth every penny. I have referred more people than I can count to your website. You are providing an awesome service!!!
Thank you so much.

Einstein from TX - found 5/14/08
I want to share my good news today. I found my deaf 15 year old shepherd mix thanks to your service. I started receiving calls within the hour of the purchase. I think I have received about 20 calls within the first hour and calls are still trickling in. I received a call from a woman who took him in for the evening. She had him taken to the shelter but the shelter did not call me even though they had his picture. This goes to show you that even the best intentioned shelters are simply to busy to follow up on animals coming in. Anyway, I have Einstein home now and I am very relieved that he is home. Thanks to your service for getting him home quickly and I am recommending the service to everyone I know. Dallas Animal Services was interested in the service when I told them about it. If you have flyers, I'd be happy to put them out for you when I go taken Einstein's flyers down.

In less than one hour of hanging up with Krislyn of FindToto.com, I received a call from a gentleman who had seen my dog the previous day. He also told me he would be in the area that day and would keep an eye out for him. I received another call from the same gentleman less than an hour later, letting me know that he had spotted him on a street a few blocks from our home. I met him there shortly after, and Brandon and I have been happily reunited, thanks to FindToto.com!!

Sadie from IN - found 5/7/08
I signed up with your service yesterday and wanted to report that our dog was found late last night. The dog and I were involved in a car accident on Tuesday. I was taken by ambulance to the hospital and in the chaos Sadie ran off in fright. I was treated and released but have been quite sore and unable to walk the streets in the area. I put in the address of the accident site for calls to start. It was nice to know that while I was recovering someone was working on behalf of Sadie to bring her home. Within an hour and a half we began to receive inquiries regarding the details of Sadie's disappearance from concerned dog lovers in the area. We got the call at 9:20 last night that she had been found in the area of the accident. Although tired and hungry, Sadie appears to be doing well and we are all thrilled to have her back home. Thank you for this service! If ever another dog of mine went missing, signing up for FindToto would be my first response.

After the professional and well-crafted FindToto.com telephone alert went out in the Uptown neighborhood where I live in Minneapolis, three pet owners that I spoke to in a local park the following day reported that they had received the message.
FindToto.com is a unique and worthy service that clearly delivers as advertised and its immediate result was that there were a large number of people in the neighborhood in which my dog was lost who were looking out for him within hours.

Foster slipped out of the backyard on Sunday, April 27th. Since then I have frantically searched for him using every way possible to find him. With the help of friends I distributed flyers throughout the neighborhood, put up posters, contacted vets in my area, animal control, five local police departments, walked every square inch of every block but was unable to locate him. Foster has a seizure disorder and needed medicine fast so it was important to find him quickly. Two days had passed when a friend told me that she had received a call recently from FindToto about another missing pet. I went to your website and posted a 1500 home alert and immediately received several calls from neighbors, but unfortunately we still could not locate Foster.
We continued to search everywhere we could think of and then decided to place another alert two days later reaching out to 5000 homes hoping that someone would call. With your help and guidance over the telephone that alert went out within 30 minutes. I continued searching and met many people who said they had received the FindToto call and were out searching for Foster, too.
On Friday, May 2nd, at about midnight I received a call from a woman who lived a few blocks away who said that she thought she found Foster hiding under her front porch. She had received the first FindToto alert and knew that a dog was missing. I immediately raced over there and there he was!
I truly believe that without FindToto it would have been difficult to find Foster safe and sound. I wish I had known about FindToto on the day Foster went missing. My advice to anyone who has a missing pet is to send out an alert as quickly as possible and to as many homes as you can afford. It's a great service to anyone in this situation and I'll be sure to tell everyone about it.
Thank you for all your help (Foster thanks you too!)

Zoey from KY - found 4/28/08
I think your service is AMAZING! We were reunited, in less than an
hour, after using this service. Our dog had been missing 5 and a half
days.
I will admit, my husband and I were skeptical at first... but after
thinking about it all night we decided it would be worth trying. We
had done every thing else we could do. Walked the city many hours,
drove around many hours, spoke with residents, passed out phone
numbers, posted flyers, posted posters, ran a local radio station ad,
local news channel classifieds, local newspaper ad, posted lost ads on
over a dozen online sites, posted on our personal website and dozens
of online contacts posted on their personal websites. We also kept in
contact with the local vets, shelters, Humane Society and Dept. of
transportation!
Bonnie Hale, MAR tech, referred me to findtoto.com saying it was the
only thing we had not done shy of hiring SAR bloodhounds. So, I placed
my order when I woke up Monday AM (4/28). At 10:19am my cell rang and
it was the findtoto.com pet alert! At 10:21am I had a call from a
person who rec'd the call-alert and thought she saw our dog on
Thursday morning (3 days ago). At 10:31 another call from someone who
rec'd the call-alert. Then, at 10:53 we got THE call from someone who
said my dog was sleeping in their open backyard. We went and it was
indeed our dog!!
I praise God first and foremost and I praise findtoto.com secondly...
and I praise the people who called - especially the 3rd caller. She
wouldn't even accept our reward! She requested it be donated so that's
what we'll do!! Another call came in at noon but I already had my
baby back home!! I will recommend this to every pet owner I know. My
husband and I are SO impressed with the outcome. My mom said she'd
tell everyone about the service as well.
We think our situation is unique because we live in a rural area of TN
and our dog was lost in a city (downtown) in KY about 20 miles away.
Without this service, I don't think Zoey would have been found. Thank
you, findtoto.com. I'm grateful and blessed!
Happy & Reunited in TN

Minnie from TX - found 4/26/08
We FINALLY got her back after a week of Minnie sightings all over Atascocita! I did a first blast of calls--1500--from our home address, and then when we had a sighting about 3 miles from home, we did a second 5000 call blast. Within an hour of both blasts, I started getting Minnie sightings. We'd have had her home sooner if she wasn't so blazing fast--no one could catch her!! But I got so many calls--it was amazing how quickly, and how well, the service worked!
It's been amazing to connect with so many neighbors who, before getting the www.findtoto.com calls, were strangers. Many have called to check on Minnie after their initial sightings. One very sweet guy offered to go look for her on his day off, and he was so glad to hear about your service because both of his tiny dogs have gone roaming before. It turned into a huge community effort, and without your service, it would not have been possible.
Thank you so much for your help!
Kilo from TX - found 4/16/08
Dear Dustin,
I cannot tell you how your service has changed my life! I returned from an overseas trip to learn that my little chihuahua, Kilo, had run away from the home where he was being cared for in my absence. They were afraid to call & ruin my vacation and, consequently, tried papering the neighborhood with signs, visiting the shelters daily, etc, all to no avail. I came home to the devastating news that my precious dog had been gone for 6 days. Luckily my best friend, Georgia, knew of your service and within 30 minutes of my call to her, she had listed me on the full package F, since Kilo had been gone so long and we live in a busy urban area (Austin, TX). I wanted to insure that no stone was left unturned in trying to recover him and within 30 minutes of the listing going "live" I began to get phone calls. Five hours later my precious dog was returned to me by a kindly gentleman who had been taking care of him. He told me he was waiting till someone claimed him as he would not go to the shelter, knowing about their euthanasia program. He would never have found me without your call.
I am your biggest fan and have been singing your praises to all the callers. One lady even called me to ask how to use your service since she'd gotten the call about Kilo and was now trying to help her friend recover a lost dog. Thank you for your keen insight into developing a wonderful and worthwhile service. As any pet owner knows, the loss of a pet is devastating and you turned my worst nightmare into a happy homecoming.

I just wanted to say thank you so much! I know Chris called earlier, but I wanted to say thank you again! Reggie had been missing for over 24 hours in a very high traffic area, and we were all starting to really fall apart. Someone who saw one of my flyers called me to tell me about your website. Less than an hour after i signed up online, I had a call on my cell phone from a woman who had Reggie in her yard, about three miles away!! I can not express enough gratitude to you and your website. I don't know what we would have done without you.
Thank you, from us, and Reggie!!!

Please delete the posting for Sarge from Tennessee. Your service helped me find him. He was about a mile away. I had many neighbors let me know that they got your message.
Thanks,

Dustin,
I got 4 calls: 1 from the person who found him, and 3 from other people who saw him. The person who found him called animal control. Animal control took him to the local vet hospital. Thank GOD it worked out.

Dear Friends,
I want to share with all of you a wonderful website www.findtoto.com that helps you locate a lost or stolen animal. Had I found out about this website about six weeks ago, my chances of finding my cat Frances, see attached, who has been missing for a little over two months may have brought her back to me (still have a chance with this service). I did everything I could in trying to locate her with flyer's, walking the neighborhood calling her name out loud like a crazy person, putting an add on Craig's List, calling for a sniffing dog, so on and on.
This morning, I have had a few calls to confirm that they have received the information and will keep a look out for me. This gives me a little hope that I may get her back, but it's not looking good. So please pass this email on to everyone you no, who loves animals to hopefully increase their chances in locating their lost or stolen animal.
Cheers!
Paula
Chips - found 3/10/08
Hi FindToto! I left you a message yesterday to let you know that Blackin finally showed up, early Saturday evening, very dirty, hungry and a bit tattered but home safe at last. We figure the combination of posted signs, word of mouth, going door to door and the phone message finally got the right person to check their garage, basement or shed, where he had somehow gotten in and could not get out. One woman did call us, from several blocks away, who had received the Lost message on her phone. But it seems there are a bunch of roaming black cats in the neighborhood as this was not Blackin. Thanks again for your help. Hopefully we won’t need to use it again—but we will mention to anyone else in a similar situation.
Jan, Neysa and Blackin
Thanks to your service, our Lab is home with us tonight and two ten year old boys have stopped crying.
Thanks again, John and Aida

Hey FindToto!
I’ve been trying to reach you, but the web sites are acting up. I’m thrilled to announce that we have our dog back, safe at home, and it is all thanks to you. A lady in an adjacent subdivision called today because she had received the recorded message. She had seen a dog resembling the description on the message close to her home. My husband immediately drove to the area, met with the woman, and started searching the vacant land near her home. GaiPan was hiding in the brush, shivering, until she recognized my husband and went nuts! If it hadn’t been for your service, GaiPan would still be missing. After 5 days we’d nearly given up hope. I will be giving your website info out to everyone I see, because it is the ONLY reason we have our baby back, and MooGoo has her sister back. Thank you so much!!!!!

Dustin,
I literally distributed 950 COLORED posters with a colored picture. (500 of
these had an ACTUAL 3X6 photo of the cat on photo paper placed on the
poster). Our City Sanitation and Water Dept came and looked in 2 sewers on
Monday morning. I used your service. I left a message on feline finders (a
search dog to sniff the smell). Placed an add in our daily newspaper. Placed
a search on tabby tracker.com. Went to animal control. Put up posters in a
laundrymat, a chinese restaurant, and 2 gas stations. Registered with a
nonprofit pet organization that was to call all my local pet shelters and
vets within a 60 mile radius (although I still had to pay for a membership
fee). Hiked in canals, woods, ditches, drove up and down ALL the streets at
ALL times of the early morning and late night. Contacted Sherlock Bones, who
is the actual REAL LIFE Ace Ventura, who Jim Carrey played. I have spent a
WHOLE bunch of money, which I don't regret at all. Actually over $600.00
dollars in the last 4 days (most of the cost for the fliers), which I don't
regret not one bit! You know we were highly concerned for our cat when on
Christmas Day I was searching the internet for a pet detective rather than
enjoying my Christmas Day! To make a long story short...OUR CAT IS
BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After 4 days, our domesticated cat,
who has never spent the day, how much more the night outdoors, let alone 4
whole days and nights, was sitting on the car last night (this is the spot
he left when he went missing) when I pulled up from passing out 500 more
fliers as described above, at 10:30 at night! It was a magical Christmas
moment! I am still in shock! A Miracle! In our opinion, it appears someone
may have had the cat. He was dry, except for the bottom of his feet, he was
not dirty or hungry at all. He was content and not frightened and he was
bathing very casually, once he came in the house. It may have been that we
were very persistent and got the ENTIRE neighborhood involved by passing out
the fliers, and your notification. So whoever had him may have realized we
wouldn't give up. Who Knows? Thank you for all of your concern, and your
time especially during the Christmas Holidays!!! I am a pretty good pet
detective, don't ya think!!! LOL!!!
>Thanks,

Thank you so much! I have already gotten two calls from people wishing me luck, and letting me know they will be looking. Thank you much! I hope this helps in my search for my baby.

Dear Dustin,
I just wanted to let you know that my darling little angel baby Bunny returned home last night. Thank you for your efforts on our behalf. My world went from bleak to wonderful with one little meow at the door.
