“Unbreakable Spirit: Woman Faces Dual Battle for Life and Lost Dog in Heartfelt Quest for Hope”
“For a year, I continued searching… posting up fliers via pet sites, calling 15 vet places around where I used to live over there about him, calling the humane societies about him, shelters,” she said. “[I] posted info about him on Facebook, lost dog forums, and pages and groups.”
The Phone Never Rang
We can only imagine the stress Mares was going through during this time. Her mind was probably all over the place. Maybe Semper was stolen, and the person didn’t want to return the cute dog. There were a lot of possibilities that could’ve been true.
“Every day I waited for a phone call about someone finding him… His microchip is registered to me…I received nothing. I was worried sick about him, and missed him dearly,” she said.
Time For Extra Assistance
Mares was in a desperate place. She wanted to reunite with Semper, no matter what it took. That’s when she came up with a wild idea that might’ve been influenced by Jim Carrey.
Her idea was to hire a pet detective. You read that correctly. There was nothing that was going to stop her from finding Semper, so outsourcing for help wasn’t such a terrible plan. Remember, Mares doesn’t give up quickly, so this was only the start.
Ana Campos
Mares began searching the yellow pages like a woman on a mission, looking for someone to help. She finally decided on Ana Campos, a private investigator who specialized in lost persons in southern Florida.
