Micha Porat was driving through Miami Beach a little after midnight when he saw a small animal, the size of a cat or a large rabbit, in the middle of the road.Even in the dark,Porat could see the animal moving slowly and it was clearly alive.So he stopped and got out of his car.
Porat was a self-employed marketer, and he also runs a popular and humorous Instagram account called Gomi the Frenchie,which tracks the funny behaviors of his three-year-old sandy-colored French bulldog Gomi who has more than 87,000 followers.
He took the eight-pound animal home, and by 2 a.m. he had posted a photo and video of the animal snuggling(依偎) up to Gomi.By the time the sun rose,thousands of people had seen the video.Gomi’s followers were about to come to the rescue of what turned out to be a partly blind and deaf Chihuahua.Later,some of them recognized the Chihuahua as a 14-year-old named Osita who belonged to Gustavo Briand, a salon owner in Miami Beach.Within a day, Osita and Briand were reunited.
The Chihuahua’s tale is part of a story that has become more common all over the country:An animal is lost.A message or picture is broadcast on social media.Hundreds of concerned “friends” repost the message or picture.The owner finds his or her lost animal, and they live happily ever after.
One New Jersey woman was reunited with her cat,Jimmy, two years after losing him, when she spotted him on a shelter’s Facebook page.A dog who ran away suddenly from his owner’s jeep at a music festival in Arizona was back with his owner after a blast on Facebook and Twitter. “Social media is changing the results of pet tracking,”says Adriana Bradley, a founder of the Lost and Found Pets in North Jersey Project, a Facebook group.“Just sharing one post on social media can help, and so many people tell me that this is the only good reason for Facebook.”
