MISSING PERSON - update 12/8/21 at 8am
Our followers are amazing!
Again, with our community’s persistence and the Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety’s assistance, Mr. Manalic was located near El Camino Real and Bernardo in Sunnyvale with his dog, Fluffy.
Ironically, Fluffy’s pet identification tag served as a tool in connecting Mr. Manalic with his family. What a great reminder to keep you pet identification tags up to date with your current contact information!
Mr. Manalic is in good health, and is being reunited with his family.
Thank you to everyone who Liked, Retweeted and Shared our messaging, and helped to look for him.
