When dog rescuer Tiffany spotted a sweet pitbull running the streets of Atlanta, she knew she needed to stop and help.
The dog, Deedee, was moments away from being hit by a car when Tiffany was able to get her off the streets and into the safety of a foster home. Sadly, the dog had no microchip in place and they were struggling to find an owner to come forward.
However, they didn’t give up on finding her owners because it seemed the dog was missing someone dearly. As Tiffany explained to ViralHog, “She was physically perfect but emotionally, she was inconsolable.”
In a now-viral video posted on TikTok, Tiffany (@143Tiffany) shared a video of Deedee crying. The poor pup was letting out loud wails and seemed to be near-tears.
Tiffany captioned the post, “Have you ever seen a dog cry real tears? she misses somebody!”

@143tiffany Have you ever seen a dog cry real tears? 🥺 she misses somebody! #lostdog #pitbullrescue #bullyrescue #lostdogatl #founddog #CloseYourRings #fyp
As it turns out, Tiffany’s hunch was right! Deedee’s owners were missing her very much and because the video went viral, they were able to reach out to Tiffany and reunite with their beloved pup!
Apparently, Deedee had been lost since November 2021 and was last seen with a man who was trying to find her owners. Her family put out missing fliers and tried using social media and word of mouth to locate their pup, but the days slowly turned into months.
Thankfully, they’ve been reunited with Deedee couldn’t be happier to be home! Deedee’s owners also have plans to get her microchipped so this won’t happen again.
