In an uplifting turn, staff discovered a microchip. The dog was identified as Leo, who had been missing for several days.
A Tearful Reunion
Leo’s owner, Erin Dillon-Pasillas, had been desperately searching for him after he slipped out of the house one morning. “Every day got more stressful… I was shaking, calling them, thinking, please be my dog,” she told KETV.
When she learned Leo had been found alive, she was overwhelmed with relief. “He’s the sweetest dog! I can’t understand why anyone would do this,” she said.
Leo is now safe at home, receiving care, comfort, and the love he deserves.
Who Did This?
Authorities are still investigating. Unfortunately, there were no surveillance cameras near the dumpster where Leo was dumped, and the abuser remains unknown. The Nebraska Humane Society is urging anyone with information to come forward.
