Lost her girl-dog, Hazel, in 2017 and surprisingly was able to find her again due to a beer can advertisement. The unusual story happened in the USA only one week before.
The golden-terrier mix disappeared while she was leashed in Monica Mathis' yard in Iowa in May 2017. Despite Monica's search efforts, Hazel was never found. When Ms. Mathis moved to St Paul, Minnesota soon after Hazel's disappearance, she had abandoned hope of ever finding her pet.
Somehow, Hazel had made her way some 1,300 miles down south to Bradenton, a town in Manatee County, Florida. When she was brought to the county animal shelter, the staff tried to use her microchip to locate her owner, but the contact information was out of date.
At the time, Motorworks Brewing, a local company, had partnered with the shelter to help dogs find homes by putting their faces on a four-pack of cold ones. The beer cans mentioned as "beer dogs" made headlines and were featured on the popular daytime TV program the Ellen DeGeneres Show. And, recently, Monica saw a familiar face starring out from a pint pictured on her Facebook account.
"This is my dog," she wrote on the brewery's post on 24 January.
The shelter then asked Ms. Mathis to share proof that the golden-terrier mix was hers, including veterinary records and photographs. When everything was set straight a few days later, the shelter announced that Hazel was going home. The Friends of Manatee County Animal Services nonprofit will send Hazel home later this month, just in time to celebrate her seventh birthday, after she obtains a health certificate.
Fortunately, a happy end story, that has surprised both the animal shelter and the brewery company. Even though they jointly participated in the "Beer Dogs" campaign, they would not believe such an initiative could have such an impact in reality. And all these thanks to social networks that have made the world smaller and communication faster.
