From a story we got from the Dodo
A Family Surprises Boy At School With His Lost Dog
The holidays arenât about what's under the tree; itâs who youâre with that matters. And no one understands that better than Carter Licata and his dog, Piper.
The 2-year-old pug loves everyone in her family, but her bond with her brother is special. âIt was love at first sight for the two of them,â April Licata, Carterâs mom, told The Dodo. But the familyâs holiday season was nearly destroyed when Piper went missing during the Thanksgiving Holiday.
Then, Licata received a Facebook message from the Genesee County Animal Shelter. A dog matching Piperâs description had been dropped off at the shelter by a person who wanted to remain anonymous. âMy husband and I were going out to dinner and honestly, there was an outcry of joy in the truck,â Licata said. âWe were shocked and elated!â
Carter was out of town when they learned about Piper, so they decided to keep it a secret and surprise him with a special reunion when he returned. Piper, meanwhile, wandered around the house looking for her brother, until finally, their reunion day arrived.
And as you can see, it was a pretty special moment!
