This past weekend was one for the books for Diana, as she indulged in copious amounts of fun and befriended numerous individuals. The cherry on top was her fondness for every single dog she met.

What a crazy search this morning!  A three month old kitten (Kiki) had gotten out of a high-rise apartment complex due to a foster dog tearing a hole through the door  while the owner was out.

The owner frantically knocked on everybody’s door on her floor, and no one knew anything. Finally one Neighbor did come forward and say she heard a cat meowing in the hall. Other than that no one had any information. The owner had posted many flyers. 

There were no other leads.

Four days later I arrive with Diana. It seemed everybody had a dog! I had to get in and out of the elevator, walk down the hallway, with Dogs coming to and fro!

Diana was a real trooper. She started at the owner’s apartment and led down the hall to an exit door leading into the fourth floor parking garage.

From there she continued to trail into the parking garage, and then indicated there was no more scent.

In the meantime, I had told the owner to let everybody know that bloodhounds were coming. I find sometimes this leads people to give information or bring forward the lost pet.

 Sure enough - about one after I had arrived on scene, the owner got a call stating that a visitor had indeed picked up the kitten in the fourth floor parking area and had driven it to Ontario!!

This person luckily was honest and drove the kitten back to the owner.

And here is a picture of Kiki now returned home!!

Diana met a new friend this morning on a search. The cockatiel’s name is Meredith. She’s four months old.
