“There wasn’t a dry eye …”
Recently, while driving through Los Angeles, California, Yamy Nuñez came across a distressing scene — a small, mop-like dog with dreadlocked fur and a bright pink nose was attempting to cross a busy street, and no one was stopping.
“She was crossing a busy street,” wrote Suzette Hall, founder of Logan’s Legacy 29, on Facebook. “Yamy got out of her car to stop traffic …”
Yamy, a dedicated volunteer with Logan’s Legacy 29, didn’t hesitate. She stepped into traffic to protect the terrified pup, determined not to let her become another tragic roadside story. The dog was frightened and skittish, but Yamy patiently stayed by her side until she could safely secure her.
“After some time, she had this sweet girl safe,” Hall shared.
Yamy immediately brought the dog to Camino Pet Hospital, where the veterinary team welcomed her with gentle care and affection. During the examination, they discovered a microchip — and to their surprise, it was registered with an active phone number.
When they called, the voice on the other end was stunned.
“Bella had been missing for two months,” Hall wrote. “They literally couldn’t believe she was found alive.”
Bella’s family had been frantically searching for her ever since she went missing. With each passing week, hope faded — until that miraculous call came.
Overjoyed that Bella had a family, Hall coordinated their reunion. But first, Bella needed some TLC after weeks of fending for herself on the streets. She received a much-needed bath and haircut, transforming her back into the beloved pet her family remembered.
Finally, Hall drove Bella to her home. As soon as the front door opened, emotions overflowed.
“Oh my goodness, there wasn’t a dry eye,” Hall wrote. “She instantly recognized her family and her dog family. I can’t explain the joy.”
After two long months apart, Bella was home — safe, clean, and surrounded by the people who never stopped loving her. Her tail wagged furiously, and her family wept tears of joy.
Bella’s story is a powerful reminder that hope should never be lost — and that sometimes, miracles really do happen.
“God sent his angel, my friend Yamy,” Hall wrote. “Miracles still happen.”
