Brindle-colored pit bull dog sitting calmlyKobe, an emotional support dog in Wilmer, was reunited with his owner.

A Wilmer woman’s desperate search for her missing emotional support dog ended in relief after a viewer came forward with the animal’s whereabouts.

Savannah Halcomb had asked the public to watch for her dog, Kobe, after the pit bull mix jumped the fence at her home in the Wilmer community behind Rocky’s Pharmacy. Kobe, who has brindle coloring, is a constant companion to Halcomb, whose legs are weak and whose left arm does not work. He opens doors for her and stays with her around the clock, helping keep her safe as she is mostly homebound.

A Community Response

After the story aired on Tuesday evening, a viewer reached out. That person was connected with Halcomb, who then updated her Facebook post to share the good news: Kobe was found. Halcomb thanked everyone who shared the story to help bring him home.

Anyone who spots a lost or stray animal in the area is encouraged to contact local animal control or post to community pages so owners and pets can be reunited quickly.
