On Tuesday, June 28, around 9:30 am, Leandro was playing in the yard of his house, located in Varzea Paulista, Brazil, with his two dogs. The gate was half open, and little Mili ran away.
Leandro and his father, Kléber da Costa, went looking for him to no avail. Nevertheless, they looked around the area and questioned the residents, but there was no trace of their dog, which they adopted in January 2022.
Mili has been abused in the past and is fortunate to be offered a new life by the Da Costa family. A very strong bond arose between the young dog and the boy. “She arrived very hurt. When she was rescued from abuse, her neck was covered in bruises, as she was tied with iron wire. We took care of her. Now she is very loving and affectionate, ”Kleber explained.
Later that day, Juninho Giugni, the city’s firefighter, was alerted by a local resident that there was one dog outside. This one was wearing a striped fleece sweater.

Upon arrival, the rescuer immediately realized that it was a lost animal. “He was very outgoing and smelled good,” Juninho said.
So the man gave her a drink and sat her comfortably in his car while looking for his owners.
Rumor has done the rest. Juninho was thus able to accompany the fugitive to her young master, who was delighted to see her again. “When we arrived, he wept with relief,” said the Good Samaritan.
The meeting was filled with emotions. Leandro and Mili were happy to finally be together after these few hours of suffering. “Leandro told us that we saved his family,” Juninho concluded the tender.
