Happy Ending For Toms River Family, Dog
Fireworks frightened this Yorkie on the Fourth of July but there's a happy ending.
TOMS RIVER, NJ — A Toms River family is celebrating Monday after their beloved Yorkie was found safe.
Cali, who escaped during the fireworks on Thursday evening, has been found and returned to her family. Family members said the little dog was found not far from the family's home that's near Toms River High School North.
"She was scooped up late last night when someone saw her," the family member said. "She was a mess and must have been hiding in bushes based on her appearance." But after a bath Cali was on her way to the vet for a checkup to make sure all is well.
