Meghan Topping is not like most six-year-old girls. Meghan considers herself a dog whisperer of sorts, and she recently helped recover a lost dog.
Daisy, a shepherd-mix, was adopted from a Northern California animal shelter by family but made her way out of their backyard on her second day at the new home.
The family posted Daisy on the Hollister Animal Lost and Found Facebook group in hopes of finding their lost dog. Almost immediately, members of the Facebook group began responding and told the family they had spotted Daisy running around Hollister.
For over two months, people continued to report these sightings of Daisy, but nobody had any luck in actually retrieving her so she could return home.
“She was in fight or flight mode. All the typical things like cage traps and baiting with smelly foods was not working. Our only way to learn her trust was to get somehow she might remember,” Deanna Barth, animal rescue expert, explained.
Hoping to find somebody who was close enough to Daisy to bring her back home, Deanna was told Daisy spent some time with a foster family a little while earlier and had become very close to a little girl over there.
