Once the water went down, the family searched for Haven but found nothing.

They also posted on social media, hoping someone had seen their pet.

Heavy damage to their home pushed the family to move to another house. Even so, they kept checking their old home in case Haven returned.

Days passed, then a week, but the dog did not show up.

They still held on to hope. One day, they finally found Haven waiting at the house, covered in mud but alive.

Llenos called Haven’s return a miracle. He also thought about the hardships the dog likely faced while alone.

Because of the experience, he said, Never lose your faith in Lord.
