Upon Max's disappearance in May in San Antonio, Texas, his family searched tirelessly for him and had nearly given up hope.
However, their luck changed when the Bexar Regional Sheriff's Office received a report of a stray dog in a nearby neighborhood. Luckily, one of the officers remembered seeing a lost dog poster for Max and immediately went to investigate.
Limelight Media kept Max and contacted his family as soon as possible to confirm that the dog was theirs. The family was given instructions to retrieve Max.
Despite being eager to have him back home, no one knows how Max managed to survive on his own during the time he was missing. When Max reunited with his human siblings, one of them burst into tears and hugged him nonstop, filled with joy.
Max has reunited with his family thanks to the kindness of Perez and the community. After a Good Samaritan reported seeing him in the neighborhood, Perez contacted the family and helped them bring Max back home.
As domestic pets, dogs going missing can be very distressing, but the heartwarming reunion of Max and his family was shared on Facebook by the sheriff’s office and quickly went viral with over 1,500 shares.
Many people were touched by the sight of the little girl's tears of joy, with one reviewer commenting on the profound emotional impact that animals can have on us. The community is grateful to Officer Perez for his help in bringing Max home.
