For over a month, Basil Thomas, 64, and wife Betaluna, 57, had received every phone call and WhatsApp message with bated breath and anticipation of some much awaited good news about their missing dog Kunji.
Eventually, it came on Friday night, when they received a call from a person who told them that he had perhaps spotted their three-and-a-half-year-old Rajapalyam pet at Vazhakkala, just a few kilometres from Puzhakkarapadam at Vennala where they lived.
“We rushed to the spot and confirmed that it was indeed our pet. However, she seemed to be in a trauma and kept running away from us. We somehow managed to bring her back. But she is still keeping aloof as if complaining about why we let her get lost,” said Mr. Thomas.
