On May 5, 2008, Andrew and I first met Mari. She was a scraggly little thing,
but she wouldn’t stop smiling, and she was playing tricks when she thought no one was looking. We knew right away she was a special pup.
Three days later, on May 8th, we brought her home from Puerto Rico. The plane trip and subsequent car ride made her nervous,
but through it all, she kept smiling.
By the end of the summer, she was completely our sol.

It’s hard to believe she’s been lost for almost as long as she’d been living on her own when we adopted her.
Miss you little one. It’d be a Frosty Paws day if you were home.

Thank you for sharing more of mari’s adoption story. I can’t think of a more loving set of doggie parents. (happy mothers day to you, anindita.) I continue to have every confidence your baby will come home. Praying for a visit to the feeding station and more sightings. Hang in there. We are all here to support you in any way we can.
what a sweet pup, your marisol. she’s strong and savvy and staying safe til you bring her home. we are all out there looking for her…i hope knowing that helps…
Such a sweet story … She just has to come home soon
Miss Marisol is a beautiful puppy!!! And now she is a beautiful and smart lady. Temps are up and the sun is out. Smiles will be coming soon!!
Thanks for letting us into Marisol’s world and yours as well. Stay strong and keep hope close to your hearts.
What beautiful pictures…thanks so much for sharing them, Anindita. I’m sure those anniversary days are hard, but I know she’ll be found. With so many people looking, praying, and sending positive thoughts out into the universe on her and your behalf, it will happen. I hope the sighting on the 5th was her, and am visualizing opening up this site in the next couple of days to see a picture of the Queen of the Fells dining at her very own feeding station! C’mon, Universe, it’s spring–wake up and get to work on bringing Mari home!!
Thank you so much Anindita and Andrew for sharing Mari’s adorable puppy photos. Her love and intelligence shine through in each of the pictures. She is indeed a very special soul and her Army is so anxious to meet her. Our prayers and thoughts are with you – EXPECT A MIRACLE!
What a great post. People who rescue dogs are the some of the best in the world
. I’m sure Mari is sunning herself on a hidden rock somewhere. There’s got to be a way to bring her home…keep us posted on the feeding station and try and stay positive.
I love your updates and I so wish I could be of some service in helping you find Marisol. You will find your precious baby girl and she will come home. I believe this!!!!
Hang on to hope and positive thoughts.
Thank you for sharing the cute and sweet photos of Mari
Luv and good thoughts from Canada!!!
I have been thinking of little Marisol every day since I read about her story. Both of you are indeed loving and special people! I envision a book and perhaps a movie being made from Mari’s story when she is found. Yes, the sun is shining and the flowers are blooming… your little flower shall come out and you shall bring her home. Stay strong!
I know that it is hard but hang in there stay strong focused and positive You will get Mari back.
my goodness! i just eeekked at the cuteness! we love you Marisol and can’t wait until you come home! I’m up for helping with another picket or anything else you guys need.
I don’t know if you follow Freekibblekat.com. I sign in daily to help feed shelter animals. The item on dogs today was about a lost dog in England named Charlie. His owner walked barefoot from the last place he was seen to their home and Charlie was able to pick up her scent and follow it home. A great story! It may not be practical for you and Marisol but it’s just an idea I thought I’d share. Hoping for another positive sighting real soon
As an addendum to Mary’s post..also know of folks that have soaked their worn socks in water and then put the water into a spray bottle to leave a scent trail (for when walking barefoot is not practical)…..
Came on Mari…we want to see your pretty face back at home…
