But in 2019, something awful happened.

Aisha came home one day to find Kovu missing. A driver had hit the fence surrounding her yard, leaving a hole large enough for Kovu to escape.

"I was crying, thinking the worst, thinking somebody kidnapped or hurt him," she explained. "I was just devastated. He was there for me through everything, heartbreaks, ups and downs, and now he was gone. It was so hard to accept."

Aisha wanted so badly to be reunited with her lost dog. But by the time she found Kovu, it was too late. A family had already adopted him from the Humane Society and renamed him Ash.

Heartbroken, Aisha Nieves had no choice but to accept her sweet pup was gone.
