What's Happening?
Haze, a dog who ended up at the San Diego Humane Society after her owner Ana fell into a coma, has been reunited with her owner after a year. Ana, who made a full recovery, was browsing the shelter's website when she recognized Haze's picture. The reunion
was emotional, with Haze immediately recognizing Ana and showering her with affection. Despite being a young and smart dog, Haze had not been adopted during her stay at the shelter, which now seems fortuitous as it allowed for this unexpected reunion.
