Lost, Found and Retuned Safe and Sound

... thanks to the kind-hearted folks at Petsecure

In early December, Petsecure Pet Insurance, one of PetLynx Corporation's industry partners, sent us this wonderful story of how they helped a lost dog.

It's such a great story ... we want to share it with you!

Meet ‘Bosco’, Petsecure pet insurance’s lost and found pup! We’re not sure what his real name is though we nicknamed him Bosco’for the 6 hours he spent with us in the office!

Early this week, Bosco was found unleashed and dodging traffic down one of Winnipeg’s busiest streets during early morning rush-hour. With her quick thinking, one of our employees managed to get a hold of the dog and brought him into our office, away from the -20 temperature and the slippery streets.

PetLynx was not involved with the amazing pet recovery story, but we know it is a story you will enjoy!

This dog's love of and loyalty to her family is showcased in a heart-warming  CBS News Assignment America video.

This Rottweiler, named Ella, was rescued from the side of a highway by a volunteer from Love Me Tender Animal Rescue in Tennessee,  is a true testament to the depth of the human-companion animal bond.

Here is an update about Ella from Love Me Tender's Website:

"THANK YOU! We want to thank everyone who wrote in response to the recent story on CBS News.  We very much appreciate your taking the time to find us, and the animals in our community thank you too!

Ella is still with Kathy, and spends several hours a day in group play with the other rescued dogs at Love Me Tender Animal Rescue.

Our thanks go to the American Humane Society for the grant to help with Ella's medical care.  We are very grateful for their help and for all the wonderful work they do to help animals."

A Happy Holiday HomeSafe Story

A Happy Holiday HomeSafe Story


Max, our 13-year-old Shepherd/Husky-cross, ran away from home on December 17th. The last time we saw him, he was running toward the bush behind our home. My partner and I followed what we thought were Max's tracks through the fields and bush for two hours without setting eyes on our dog.

Our search was was very frustrating. We eventually become separated ... and, miles from home, I fell in the frozen field and sustain a knee injury. I was driven home by a kind woman whose backyard I finally found myself in.

As soon I returned home I posted a missing dog report on PetLynx. Then, I spent a very long, very sad weekend thinking that old Max  -- who's sight and hearing are very poor -- had either frozen to death or may have been attacked by coyotes.

My partner never gave up hope that Max would find his way home. Eventually, he did .... but not on his own!

A school teacher had spotted Max walking down the middle of the highway, being dodged and honked at by passing traffic. She loaded him into her car and took him to the Dundas Animal Hospital were they sheltered him and searched for his owner. They found our report on PetLynx and called me Monday morning.

We are so grateful to ...
the woman who drove me home when I hurt my leg,
the teacher who rescued Max off the highway,
the people at Dundas Animal Clinic who cared for Max,
and the people at PetLynx for helping Max get home ... safe!

You are all truly Christmas angels and we cannot thank you enough!!!!

        Merry Christmas

Lost, then Found, Thanks to PetLynx

Asha is a 9 year old, Shih Tzu but she looks and acts like a puppy. She has come to work with my husband and me since we opened our office in 2005. Our patients have come to expect seeing her as soon as they walk through the door, and as you might expect, Asha looks forward to seeing them, too

The day Asha went missing from our office was, by far, one of the worst moments of my life. We have had Asha since she was a puppy and I panicked at the thought of never seeing her again. Of course, worst case scenarios immediately ran through my head!
