It was Monday morning when my sister woke me up to borrow my sweater cause she's gonna go outside to look for our dog, Blacky 1. This dog typically follows his mother outdoors, which is why we usually go outside to bring him in, but we couldn't find him this time. My father rode his bike to look within the neighborhood but there are no traces of our dog. Most of the children in the neighborhood have heard the news that Blacky 1 is missing so they volunteered in searching with us because the kids really adore him. While searching, some unknown kids informed us that they had seen Blacky and he was stolen by someone but then later on they changed their statements and said that the dog went walking towards the highway, which made us really worried but at the same time confused as to where he really is (on our way back we saw a very cute half Dachshund, half Aspin(indigenous mixed-breed dogs in the Philippines) which really looks cute). After that, my cousin and I decided to wait outside while eating our snacks in case Blacky returned, but we have yet to see our adorable pet. It's nearly dusk, and we're on the verge of giving up because it's been 8 hours and we haven't found him. Our final resort is to publish a photo of our dog on Facebook's My Day to notify most of our Facebook friends (who usually live nearby). I also asked some of my friends and cousins to post the photo on their My Day as well. My cousin Raxel and I normally sleep late since we are accustomed to sleeping late. It's also difficult to sleep knowing that your dog is outdoors somewhere and that there is a typhoon that time and that it is raining in the evening. We were awake till 4 a.m. when my cousin heard a bell ringing outside and went there to check. When he returned, he was already carrying Blacky inside. We were overjoyed at the time and kept asking him where he went, despite the fact that we knew he couldn't answer hahaha. I then called woke my sister up to tell her the news. My Mother and Father had also awoken; we were all overjoyed, and went back to sleep blissfully.
Our dog was missing for 16 hours, that was the longest time that he was away from us since he spent most of his time with has for the last 4 months. When he went back, you can really see how excited he was by jumping unto us and licking our faces. The photo from above (Blacky with his pink lego toy) was taken in the morning after he arrived, it is really evident how happy he looks like now that he's finally back home.
