When her beloved dog, Kovu, went missing two years ago, Aisha Nieves was devastated. She had loved him since she adopted him at 7 weeks old, and the two were inseparable.

"He was like my baby," Nieves told WFMZ News. "He would go with me everywhere, he would sleep in my bed."

But in 2019, Kovu disappeared from Nieves's yard one day after escaping through a hole in the fence, and a frantic search for him led nowhere.

"I was four months pregnant with my younger son at the time," Nieves told The Morning Call. "I had a lot of emotions going through me.
