The power of social media helped to reunite a service dog with his family in Rowland Heights.
The 11-year-old dog named Buddy disappeared from his home back on August 15.
After nearly a month of posting photos online, his owners got a tip over the weekend from someone who had seen their story on social media and believed they knew where Buddy was.
"It's really amazing, people are very sympathetic. A lot of dog lovers, they gave us a lot of encouragement and they assured us 'we will help you to find Buddy,'" the owner said.
