Losing a pet is always heartbreaking, especially when they are an emotional support animal that provides comfort and wellbeing. Recently, an incredible story of hope and reunion unfolded for one man who went through a devastating loss. CJ Ortega, a resident of Denver, had been searching tirelessly for his beloved Boston terrier, Twyla, ever since she went missing. Finally, after months of uncertainty, he received the best news he could have hoped for.

Ortega had been living with emotional and physical trauma since a severe car accident a few years ago. Twyla, his emotional support dog, had been a source of incredible support and companionship during his healing journey. Their bond went beyond the conventional relationship between a person and their emotional support animal. Ortega described her as his “companion” and “the love of his life.”

On the day before Thanksgiving, Ortega’s world came crashing down as Twyla disappeared. Frantically searching for her, he put up signs and handed out flyers, hoping for any news about his missing dog. However, the response he received was cruel and heartless. People made mean-spirited prank calls to tell him that Twyla was dead and would never return. It was an emotionally devastating time for Ortega.

Finally, on February 13, the Denver Animal Shelter contacted Ortega with incredible news. They informed him that Twyla had been found. Initially skeptical, Ortega thought it might be another scam. But this time, it was the news he had been desperately waiting for. Twyla had been living with people who were recently arrested on an unrelated charge. They had renamed her “Honey” and claimed her as their own.

Thanks to a microchip, Ortega’s long-lost companion was positively identified as Twyla. He couldn’t contain his joy when he heard the news. For Ortega, Twyla is his “absolute world,” his best friend, and his “ride or die.” The months of searching and hoping had paid off.

Twyla was found unharmed, well-nourished, and in good spirits. Ortega said, “As long as I have her, life is great.” The reunion of man and dog is a heartwarming reminder of the unconditional love and companionship that animals provide. Ortega’s story has touched many hearts, and we join in celebrating the safe return of Twyla.

We are thrilled that Twyla is finally back home with Ortega after months of being apart. Please share this incredible news and spread the joy!
