I am already furious, I am upset, and I am going to report the dog to the authorities.

The family lives in the Buenavista neighborhood, Playa municipality. The little dog went missing at the intersection of 78 and 19, near Playa, possibly scared off by stray dogs. She is wearing a black collar. She recently suffered from distemper, which may have affected her sense of smell and breathing, potentially worsening her sense of direction.

In the house, there is another little puppy who is very sad and doesn’t want to eat since Sofía went missing.

"I'm going to go from veterinarian to veterinarian, and I'm not going to rest. It's impossible that no one has seen her; she's a very social dog and she's already an adult. I need to have her with me; we will be aware and we will have a little heart," she pleaded.
