A family in North Carolina experienced a “joyous reunion” with their dog, Sola, who had gone missing after slipping off a steep mountain. Assumptions of Sola being injured were debunked when the “beloved” dog was found unharmed and temporarily sheltered at the Asheville Humane Society until her family could retrieve her.

Details on the Lost Dog’s Return

Sola disappeared while hiking with her family on New Year’s Day. Concerns arose when she accidentally fell from a steep mountainside, causing her owners to fear the worst. After a fruitless search for Sola, her family, feeling defeated and heartbroken, had to make the long journey back home without their pet.

Happy Ending to the Story

Fortunately, a Good Samaritan found Sola without any injuries and contacted her family. Since the family had already returned home, which was three hours away, the Asheville Humane Society offered to house Sola until her owners could pick her up.
