TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Drones, Security Cams, and neighborly love help find lost dog

Anytime you hear a story of a lost pet it tugs at the heartstrings little bit.

But now with how much technology there is it’s easier than ever to send out a search party to find a dog or cat who ran away.

Like this dog in Indiana named Misty who ran away from the family’s house Christmas. It was super cold out at the time so they had very little hope that they would find her. But they still posted on Facebook which led to people in their community rallying together to help. They used everything from drones to security cameras. Until one neighbor who lived about ten miles away decided to leave some food out to see if that would attract her. Unbelievably, it did! And she mad it safe and sound back to her owners.

As a thank you the family threw a big thank you dinner for the who neighborhood and everyone who helped.

He does in fact have one! His full name is Charles Entertainment Cheese. Good to know. And yes, their pizza is still as incredible as when I was a 5 year old.
