They found their companion thanks to Animou

My cat Milo went missing on a Tuesday evening. Within 2 hours, 43 people around me had received the alert. By Wednesday morning, a neighbor I'd never met found him in her garage. Animou gave me back my cat — and introduced me to my neighbors

I don't have a pet, but when I got an alert about a lost dog on my street, I took a detour on my way home from work. I'm the one who spotted him. It took me 10 minutes.
