People are determined to reunite woman with dog after discovering emergency vet lost her dog

Internet sleuths are doing their thing as they're desperately trying to reunite a heartbroken dog owner with her pet.

Hannah Riley took to X on March 17 in the hopes of recruiting people to help find her 10-year-old dog, Hazel.

Hannah had been on vacation when Hazel, a white and beige papillon, had to be rushed to St. Francis Veterinary Specialists and Emergency in Atlanta, Georgia.

The pooch had ingested several cannabis gummies at her sitter's home, sparking them to rush Hazel to the nearby vets.

Sharing a photo of her beloved dog, Hannah wrote on social media: "MISSING DOG IN DECATUR/ATLANTA GEORGIA.

"Hazel was at an emergency vet (St. Francis) when they took her outside without a leash and she bolted. She has a catheter in her leg and is scared and sick.

"She’s scared of people and she is aggressive to other dogs. PLEASE please share."

The post has since been viewed over 740,000 times and online detectives are trying their best to help Hannah.

She added in a follow-up tweet on March 18: "I just cannot believe they took her outside without a leash. I am so angry and SO devastated at the thought of her out there cold and in maybe in pain from the catheter. And I’m so far away. Absolute nightmare."

Hannah adopted Hazel six years ago and describes them as being 'attached at the hip' ever since.

As of today (March 21), Hazel is still missing.

As the search for Hannah's dog continues, a close friend of the dog owner's has set up a GoFundMe page on her behalf to raise money to pay for ads to help bring Hazel home.

It's target of $10,000 was reached in a matter of days.

Part of the fundraiser's bio reads: "This GoFundMe has been created to raise $10,000 for ad space to spread the word and bring Hazel home. Any unused funds will be donated to a local animal rescue.

"We have evidence that Hazel may have been picked up by someone in the area where she escaped, or she may still be out there."

While Hannah is not on TikTok, people have shared their own videos explaining the situation and sharing where the pooch was last seen.

Elsewhere, people have been posting online flyers across social media, as well as in person.

There's even been a Google Spreadsheet set up with suggested locations where volunteers can take leaflets.

The sheet is pinned to Hannah's X profile.

In the wake of Hazel's disappearance, St. Francis' parent company, Thrive Pet Healthcare, have said in a statement, as per The Philadelphia Enquirer: "We are deeply saddened by the incident that occurred at Saint Francis Veterinary Specialists and Emergency a few days ago.

"Our regional leadership is and has been in communication with Hazel’s family and remains supportive of the search."
