Micha Porat was driving home one night when he spotted something darting across the road. He was thinking maybe it was a stray cat or possibly a rat, so he stopped his car and got out to check – and to his surprised it was a little Chihuahua, terrified and wandering the streets all alone.
The Chihuahua ran away scared as he walked closer to her. He stopped the cars in the middle of the road that could’ve hit her and told them to stop and watch for the Chihuahua.
Some passersby who are walking their dog helped Porat catch the little Chihuahua. He decided to take her home with him, in hopes that perhaps he could try and find her owner.
As soon as they arrived home, they have been greeted by Porat’s own dog named Gomi. Gomi, a goofy, energetic 2-year-old French bulldog immediately welcomed the lost dog into his home. The Chihuahua was much older than little Gomi, however the pair still got along great, and loved to snuggle and play together from the moment they met.
Despite the fact that Gomi has his new friend got along great, Porat still hoped to find out where she’d come from and that’s when he had an idea.
Little Gomi is an Instragram-famous dog, with more than 80, 000 people following his account. His dad, Porat, decided to post about the lost Chihuahua on Gomi’s Instagram account, hoping one of his thousands of followers might be able to help.
Then, something great happened. Little Gomi’s dad got a few different messages from people who recognized the dog. The Chihuahua’s name is Osita and her owner is desperately trying to find her.
Osita, a 14-year-old Chihuahua went missing right after she accidentally got out of her owner’s garage, about ten blocks away from where she was identified. She is a therapy dog which is why her owner thinks that she was stressed from a bunch of renovations on his home and that is why she bolted.
If Porat hadn’t thought to use Gomi’s Instagram account to help Osita, she and her owner may never have found each other again. Now they’re happily reunited, and Osita can continue to live out her golden years in peace.
