It may just be my social media but I don't think so, I think this winter we have been seeing a lot of missing pets. I also think that we may be seeing more posts because people are figuring out that there's a network that can help.

I follow two pages on Facebook that do a great job helping people find their missing pets. Lost Pets of the Hudon Valley and HV Lost Pets have been working overtime for the last month or more.

Who Can Help Find a Lost Pet in the Hudson Valley

What is great to see when you follow these pages is the knowledge people have and share to help get a pet back home. The feeds for both of these pages are full of happy endings.

I won't say there aren't some sad stories. Not every pet's story ends with a reunion. Some animals are found deceased but you keep reading because there are stories that turn out amazing which pretty much happened with the story of Bane the missing German Shepard from Middletown, New York.

Bane's story could have ended very differently if it wasn't for one gentleman who has used his drone service many times this year. Heatseeker Drone Services is the reason that Bane is home safe and sound.
