Oh man. I’m so sorry that happened! That is my worst nightmare too - and I can only imagine the stress and worry! SO glad Milo was found! 💞

I feel for your dogsitter. I almost lost a friend's dog the same way while she was abroad. He got scared and wriggled out of his harness and kept running from me until I got down on the ground, crying, and begged him to stop. He stood still long enough for me to grab him and carry him home. I'm so glad you and Milo were reunited and all is well! 🧡

Trauma! I’m glad it all turned out ok. We use a 1 piece harness like this https://www.chewy.com/harness-lead-polyester-no-pull-dog/dp/134340?utm_source=google-product&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=hg&utm_content=Harness%20Lead&utm_term=&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI_fXDuaiZ7QIVp-HACh27ogh_EAQYEiABEgIkQfD_BwE. Perhaps you can locate something similar there. I have not met the pup, yet, that could slip one of those.

I'm panicked and in tears just reading about you and poor Milo! I am so glad he's home and recovering now. I am in awe of just how wonderful your Portuguese neighbors and friends are, jumping into action to save Milo and help you afterward. It makes me want to move there even more than I do already.

I have an 'easy walk' harness for little Charlie and there is absolutely no getting out of it. the most that could happen would be causing him to make a u-turn...lol

Still crying over this, way too emotional. I don't want to even imagine the full impact on you. But I am happy he is safe and sound in mommy's arms again. Waiting to hear back from an airbnb in Setabul at the moment and perhaps...finally...I will be able to meet you and little Milo. Been trying to accomplish this since last March!

Oh Shanna poor little Milo and poor you! It must have made you sick to the stomach, I would have been frantic with worry! At least you got him back and he's recovering but how about you? The relief at finding him must have been overwhelming!! It's certainly has made me weep, I lost two within five months of each other last year. Both through old age and I know and appreciate how much they mean to people's lives! I bet you won't let him out of your site now and I don't blame you. Sending lots of love & hugs xx

Shanna, I'm practically in tears for the little guy. You too! So nice to know that both of you mean so much to your neighbors and they are such thoughtful people. I have two little dogs and one of them is quite capable of escaping! I'll cinch up his harness and will be keeping an extra close eye on him now!! Take care and prayers for Milo!!
