A dog owner from Scottsdale, Arizona is thankful to have her puppy back after an owl picked up the dog in the women’s backyard and carried it away.

When Bonnie Ziegler let her four puppies outside last Friday for a “potty break,” she never expected something like this to happen. When she went outside to check on them minutes later, she was horrified to find that her 12-week-old female mixed breed Latte was nowhere to be found.

“I didn’t hear a sound and the other puppies didn’t bark. It was as if she just vanished,” Barbara said.

Bonnie and her neighbors spent hours searching for Latte, and even posted on social media about the missing dog, but they could not find her anywhere. Twelve hours later, Latte was finally found by golfers at Troon Golf Club in Scottsdale. She was found by them dehydrated and weak under a tree near the course’s 16th hole. Latte also had injuries in her head from where the owl’s powerful talons had punctured her skull.

The little puppy was rushed to Foothills Animal Rescue in Cave Creek, Arizona, where shelter staff found she luckily had no broken bones. Thankfully, staffers there are expecting her to make a full recovery.

After she makes her recovery, Latte will be adopted into a brand new forever home. Staffers at the animal rescue have said that her medical costs will be around $4,500. This dog has been through so much, and we hope she is given the loving forever home that she deserves.
