Precious has been a beloved member of our family since 2008. Originally, she was my grandma's dog, but we have always shared a special bond. Precious is much more than just a pet; she's our baby, and unfortunately, she has been missing since March 19th. It's even more heart-wrenching knowing that she is old and sick. We fear for her safety and well-being.

This petition aims to take our search to the next level by seeking your help in urging media outlets, particularly those based in Hayward, CA, to feature Precious' rescue story on their broadcasts. It has been shown that media exposure increases the chances of lost pets being found (Journal of Veterinary Behavior, 2012). A story run by the media will potentially reach thousands of residents, significantly improving the chances of someone recognizing Precious and ultimately leading to her safe return home.

Surely, our heartfelt plea hits close to home for many, as approximately 85 million families in America have a pet (American Pet Products Association). This is not just about Precious; this is about the shared love and invaluable bond we all have with our endearing pets. Together, we can make a difference and increase the odds of Precious' safe return. We urge you to sign and share our petition broadly. Thank you.
