Thanks To Facebook And Craigslist, A Lost Dog Is Found

Missing Lucy

Facebook has been blamed for many hours of wasted time and stalking. But what about finding a lost dog?

The story started when Lucy, a Golden Retriever, went missing in Minnesota. A truck driver found the dog on the side of the road and picked her up. Nobody knew who she belonged to, and so the truck driver took her along as a travel companion, ending up in Indiana.

Meanwhile, Amber Yaw, Lucy‘s owner, posted a lost ad on Facebook. At the same time, the truck driver posted an ad on Craigslist. Eventually a connection was made and the owners traveled to Indiana and retrieved their lost dog.

As Patti Yaw, Amber’s mother says, “Had we not had the internet, had Amber not done what she did, had the person who found her not put it on Craigslist… all of these different things had to work together.”
