Imagine this: one day, you’re having a blast with your long-time family dog, and the very next day, she goes missing. You search high and low, but she’s simply nowhere to be found.
Months go by, and you continue to search even more, only to realize that she might be gone forever. Your hope fades as everyone tells you to move on and find peace with the fact that he’s not coming back.
Well, this is exactly what happened to Cali’s owners!
After their furry companion went missing under unclear circumstances, Cali’s parents practically gave up hope of ever seeing her again…until the phone rang!
The Moment That Left Everyone In Tears
When Cali’s owners received a call saying their girl had been found, they immediately rushed to the shelter. All those months of wondering whether she was still alive immediately vanished the moment they saw her standing next to her shelter caregiver.
At first, Cali was confused when the volunteer took her out of her kennel.
She slowly walked out of the door, not knowing what to expect until she heard a familiar voice after four long months.
“Cali! Hi, pretty, girl,” her owners called out to her.
Only a moment later – she knew! As she approached her mom, she recognized the smell she had been missing for so long and immediately melted.
Cali was all tail-wags, wiggles, and happy barks, running and jumping from one owner to another and showing the true happiness of finally being found.
“I have never heard her bark like that. You could tell how happy we all were,” her mom said, according to the ViralHog video.
Making up for all the lost time with her parents, Cali couldn’t stop showering them with kisses. It was a truly heartwarming moment, bringing tears to the eyes of everyone who witnessed this emotional reunion.
Cali’s story spread all over the internet, telling a tale of love and hope and stealing the hearts of absolutely everyone!
“Finally I see a video that shows true love! Thank you so much,” one commenter wrote.
“I’m not crying, you’re crying,” another added.
Have A Great Life, Cali
Cali soon returned to her old home, recovering from her misfortune. Although she had scars on her legs and an injured eye, she didn’t take long to fully recover and pick up where she had left off.
Her arrival home couldn’t have come at a better moment, according to her family.
“She had scars on her legs and she injured her eye, but after lots of help and everyone’s prayers she finally came back to us not long after finding out I was pregnant,” Cali’s mom added.
Cali, now learning all about setting a good example for her human sibling, has a new role that will surely make her even more pawesome.
Good luck, Cali! You’re going to be an amazing sister!
