Missing Dog Found During FIFA Celebrations in Mexico
A touching and rather peculiar reunion story from Mexico is making headlines and gaining popularity among football and animal lovers across the globe. Gorda, a lost dog who was missing for almost a month, was found by sheer coincidence in the middle of the festivities of FIFA World Cup supporters in Ciudad Victoria, Tamaulipas.
Gorda Went Missing Without a Trace
This is because Gorda was last seen alive on May 24th in the Lomas de Guadalupe settlement in Ciudad Victoria. This has made her owner, Ale Garcia, worried and concerned about Gorda.
Though efforts to trace the missing pet dog have not helped in any way in the past few weeks, people still hope she is alive somewhere.
FIFA Celebrations Led to an Unexpected Discovery
The moment changed its course when the Mexican team beat the Czech team 3-0 in the FIFA World Cup, giving rise to huge celebrations throughout the nation.
It was then that a Facebook account posted a video showing enthusiastic football fans having fun on the road along with their jubilant dog. It was even humorously captioned that the dog also participated in the celebration.
But little did anyone know that it was Gorda.
A Family Member Recognised the Missing Dog
Coincidentally, Garcia’s brother came across the viral video and immediately knew that the dog belonged to Gorda.
Based on the visual cues in the video, Garcia’s family located the party and hurried there. Garcia managed to locate Gorda with her group of football fans.
The reunion was quite touching and memorable since Gorda immediately recognized her owner after such a long time.
A Mix of Emotions
When talking to reporters, Garcia mentioned that she had never thought about her football celebration helping to bring her dog home.
She described feeling:
- Feeling relieved from weeks of uncertainty.
- Joyful to know that Gorda is alive and well.
- Surprised to find that her dog was having fun participating in the celebration.
- Wanting to laugh, cry, hug her, and even scold her for going AWOL.
Garcia jested that while they had been looking for Gorda desperately, she was having the time of her life for an entire month.
Gorda Is Safe and Back Home
Her new owners then took Gorda to see a vet for a check-up. Thankfully, she was in excellent health and needed just some food and water.
