Finding Scruffy! How to Find your Lost Dog using Social Media?

Yeah! this could be one of to many good thing about Social Media, which is finding your lost keys, wallet, and even your lost dog! I first heard about this story at Michael Aulia’s blog when he posted about how his friend found her lost dog through social media, and this nice story makes me think about what else we can do by using the power of Social Media and Social Networking?

Some guys talks about finding their lost stuff in college or school by tweeting about it or post it on Facebook and got respond of their friends and after a series of re-tweets, this missing stuff could be found. I mean why not try this out when you lose something?! maybe it will work for you and will bring back your valuable stuff!

I just thought to blog about it as I agree with Michael that this story should be on the Media and News, and here is the story from the original blog if you would like to read more about how social media helped on finding Scruffy the missing dog!

If you found something through the Social Media or one of your Social Networks, plz share the story with us by adding a comment on to this post!

   That is a great story and I would have never thought about looking for lost items especially pets on social media sites. But what a great idea.

   I found my dog using Craigslist! Nothing else worked (posters, newspaper ads, etc.).
