The more time passed, the more Sheba’s owner lost hope. Then, last Saturday (April 10), someone called her to tell her that she had just found her dog. She didn’t believe it at first. “ I was honestly in disbelief when I got the call, because it had been so long, ” she says.
However, when she arrived at the scene and saw her dog, she “ instantly broke down in tears. I have never cried so much in my life, ”continues Sherri Storoshenko .
The person who spotted and rescued Sheba , with the help of her boyfriend, was Nicole Lunde . She and Cali Martinez had initially planned to go elsewhere. Their change of plan made it possible to save the dog and bring her home, to her family.
It was first about Nicole and Cali going to Crescent Beach on Saturday. At the last moment, they had changed their minds. Their new destination was 1001 Step s Park, near the cliff.
It was at the foot of it, in the middle of a small clearing surrounded by brambles, that the couple saw the dog trapped. They were able to join her, then retrieve her and take her in their car. They were about to take her to a vet when Cali Martinez saw Sherri Storoshenko’s wanted poster on social media. Nicole Lunde immediately contacted her to let her know.
