['I was so sad last summer when my dog ran away. I thought I would never see him again.', "Man, that is so sad.  I don't know what I would do if my dog ran away!  Did you ever find him?", 'Well one day a stranger knocked on my door. I thought I was dreaming when I saw they had my dog with them. I was so happy they had brought Fido home!']
That's awesome!  I love a happy ending!
Recently I lost my dog. I thought he was gone forever. Then I got a visit from a stranger who had my dog with them. I was ecstatic this person had brought me my dog!
