A 4-year-old girl disappeared from the yard of her house one morning

One morning, a 4-year-old girl vanished from her home’s yard. For the past 48 hours, the family and neighbors have been searching the adjacent woodland for her. When the police arrived on the scene, they began questioning everyone about whether they had seen the girl, but none had.

The parents’ desperation was growing, and they were terrified that something horrible might happen to their young daughter.
Over a five-mile radius, the police visited every home in an effort to find the missing girl, searching day and night without stopping.
The girl had a drastically decreasing chance of survival with every hour that went by.

The neighbors discovered a stray pit bull hiding next to a tree in the midst of the forest on the third day of the search. The dog growled at their attempts to approach, preventing anyone from getting close to him.

Upon closer inspection, they saw that the dog was attempting to defend the girl who had gone missing. YES, THEY FOUND HER!
The dog was obviously squatting next to the girl in the woods, trying to protect and warm her, however it is unknown how much time they spent together.

The girl was extremely hungry and dehydrated, but she was unharmed. After being brought to the hospital, her condition was improved by the medical staff.

The girl’s family later adopted the puppy, whom they gave the name Joy.

Because the pit bull was able to keep the girl safe, he was hailed as a hero.

Nobody ever imagined that a dog could have such keen instincts as to sense the child’s danger and instinctively know how to protect it.
Joy once again shown to the girl’s parents how much wiser and more loving dogs may be than people realize. For this, the parents are grateful.

Family Leaves Their Dog At A Parking Lot, He Spends Weeks Waiting For Them

A heartbreaking story comes from Southern California, where a tiny gray-and-white dog was spotted lying in a school parking lot next to the school’s shrubs.

She was waiting for her family who abandoned her to come back, refusing to leave that very spot, and hiding from anyone who wanted to help her.

Weeks went by, but no one claimed this dog, nor did anyone come back for her. She was all alone in this world, still not realizing that her previous owners are no longer her family…

Little Doggo Girl Was Inclined To Wait For Her Hoomans To Come Back

Despite the fact that no one came back for her for fifteen days, this little dog girl refused to budge from the parking lot shrubs. She was inclined to wait for as much as she needed to for her family to come back.

Many people tried to help her, sharing her photos online in hopes of finding her family, but no one ever claimed her. And, even when someone would try to approach her directly, she’d always hide, until one day, a woman named Suzette Hall came by.

Suzette is the founder of the Logan’s Legacy animal rescue in Irvine, California. When she came across the dog’s story, she had no doubts about helping her. Suzette drove herself to the school and searched for this doggo.

“For 15 days, there she was in the morning, afternoon, and then the night. Neighbors tried to help her, but she was too scared. I know she believed if she stayed there, they would come back for her. Loyal little girl,” she wrote.

As she was extremely fearful and shy, Suzette decided to set a humane trap with a hot dog in it. Even though this pup wasn’t exactly starved as she was fed by kibble, Suzette chose the right food to lure her in!

When she finally got her, the doggo girl was frightened and panicky, but she eventually calmed down and fell asleep in Suzette’s car. She decided to name the dog “Scarlet”.
