A happy return for Lilly! Missing dog found in San Gwann after three months
“We never lost hope”.

A dog that had gone missing for three months in San Gwann has finally returned home!

The owners had been appealing and trying to locate their Fox Terrier, Lilly but they had no luck. That is until last night!

Lilly’s family received a call last night from a local cat feeder who spotted Lilly.

When her owners went to check if it was really her after all these months, Lilly ran aways because she was terrified of dogs barking nearby.

They went on the spend hours calling her name and trying to find her again, until she eventually ran to them, and they were finally reunited.

“We want to thank everyone who helped us to look out for Lilly around all Malta and Gozo”, her owner, Josephine Cross Depares expressed.

“The amount of calls and pics of all dogs roaming was enormous. We all checked them out. BUT WE NEVER LOST HOPE and we continued night and day to search for her”, she continued.

“We can’t thank you all you kind hearted people enough and now Lilly would be showered with love, hugs and kisses like she always had. MIRACLES DO HAPPEN”.

Lilly did lose a lot of weight but apart from that she seems to be doing ok!
