After the deputy reunites the little girls with their missing dog, the girls break down in tears.

Last May, a dog named Max disappeared from his home in Bexar County, Texas. His worried family searched everywhere, putting up signs throughout the neighborhood, hoping their dog would return.

Flyers described Max as a mixed-breed dog who was “super friendly” and “very calm and sweet.”

Max was nowhere to be found, leaving his family worried sick — but that July, there was a break in the case.

Deputy Perez of the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office got a call about a dog that was “found wandering in the neighborhood,” according to the department.
