The Day My Aunty Lost Her Dog — And How a GPS Tracker Saved the Next One
My Aunty Grace is 53. She and her husband, Uncle Daniel, have always been dog lovers. Their golden retriever, Buddy, was more than a pet — he was their child.
One rainy evening, Buddy somehow slipped out through the garden gate... and he was gone.
We searched everywhere. Posters, Facebook, shelters — nothing. Aunty Grace looked at me with tears in her eyes and said, “If only we knew where he was that first day…”
Buddy never came back. And it left a hole in their hearts that nothing could fill.
A Second Chance
A month later, we decided it was time to heal. Aunty Grace and Uncle Daniel adopted a new dog — a playful, curious Labrador they named Max.
The first thing I told them? “We’re not going to lose this one. Get a GPS tracker.”
I showed them the two I trust most: the Petcube GPS Pet Tracker and the FitBark GPS Pet Tracker. Both offered live tracking, location history, health monitoring, an alarm feature, and even a bright LED light for night searches.
They didn’t hesitate — Max wore his tracker every day.
The Day the Tracker Proved Itself
Three months later, they went on a weekend hiking trip with Max. It was the perfect sunny afternoon — until Max spotted a squirrel and bolted into the woods.
In the past, this would have been panic all over again. But this time, there was no shouting, no blind searching.
Aunty Grace simply opened the tracker app on her phone. Within seconds, they saw Max’s live location moving deeper into the forest. They followed the map, getting closer and closer.
When they were near, Uncle Daniel tapped the alarm button in the app — and the tracker on Max’s collar began beeping loudly. Max started barking in response.
It was getting dark, but the tracker’s bold LED light shone like a beacon between the trees. Within minutes, they had Max back, tail wagging like nothing had happened.
