“We had searched and searched for her. I had resigned myself to the fact that she was gone and was just hoping she was with a good family,” she told The New York Daily News
Annie, a Maltese/Westie mix who appeared well-fed but matted when she was found, is expected to be returned to its owner in a few days.
