Rustico Samson Jr. and his family endured a nightmare for three long months.

Coco, their cherished puppy, had vanished from their Philippines home. And despite their regular searches, Coco was nowhere to be seen.

“I sobbed. There was a great deal of anguish and suffering, Samson said. Coco is not merely a pet. He’s a relative.”

But Samson continued to look as the months went by.

Samson searched the city extensively each day that Coco was missing in search of him.

I looked around every corner,” he declared. “I even started crying as I looked.”

Samson asked friends and new acquaintances for assistance, giving them a description of Coco and requesting that they keep an eye out for her. And sure enough, the effort was fruitful.

Samson hurried to the location when a stray dog matching his description was seen in a parking garage three months after Coco vanished.

Samson remarked, “I knew it was him the instant I spotted a dog laying on the floor of the parking garage. “I was 100 percent certain that it was Coco,” she said.

What followed was unequivocal:

“I felt overpowered. I was overjoyed “stated Samson. “At that time, Coco likely experienced similar emotions. He could be heard bawling like a baby.”

Suddenly, their hearts were restored.

The months that Coco spent as a lost dog on the streets had left their mark. He was clean but slender and generally in good health. Fortunately, it was nothing that his family’s devotion couldn’t help him overcome.

Coco’s return home altered everything.

The home is once more filled with uplifting auras, Samson added. The mood has improved.

Samson would have never given up on his search for Coco. Fortunately, his hunt is now finished.

If you have a heart and treat your pet like a member of your family, it doesn’t matter if you’re wealthy or not, he added. “You never give up when someone in your family is missing.”
