PORK CHOP CAME HOME.



"We've got permanent smiles now, we're just ecstatic that he's home."



AFTER A TEARFUL WEEK... LATASHA ARMENDARIZ AND HER KIDS HAVE THEIR MISSING
FAMILY MEMBER BACK.



LAST THURSDAY PORK CHOP.. A TWO YEAR OLD ENGLISH BULLDOG... DISAPPEARED FROM
LATASHA'S FRONT YARD.



"It was hard. It was the worst feeling ever."



SHE IMMEDIATELY PUT OUT A 500 DOLLAR CASH REWARD... BUT HAD NO LUCK.

SO SHE SWITCHED GEARS... AND OFFERED UP ONE OF HER MOST PRIZED POSSESSIONS.

THIS CUSTOMIZED 19-96 FORD MUSTANG CONVERTIBLE.. SHE'S SPENT THOUSANDS OF
DOLLARS ON... AND JUST FINISHED PAYING OFF.



"I love my car, my mustang was my life's work.



BUT SHE WAS WILLING TO PART WAYS WITH IT....  BECAUSE IN HER EYES... PORKCHOP
IS MORE IMPORTANT.



"I just want to instill the value in my children that family is the most
important thing beyond any material item."



WEDNESDAY NIGHT, LATASHA GOT A CALL FROM A MAN WHO SAID HE FOUND THE DOG NEAR
HER HOUSE.

HE CAME OVER AND SURE ENOUGH... HE HAD PORK-CHOP

THE MAN DIDN'T EVEN TELL LATASHA HIS NAME... BUT SHE KEPT HER PROMISE.



"I saw Porkchop and here are the keys! I didn't even look back! He right right
inside to the kids, and we all jumped on him."



NOW CARELESS... LATASHA GETS RIDES FROM HER MOM, USES HER FATHER-IN-LAW'S TRUCK
WHEN SHE CAN... AND TAKES THE BUS...



"With a smile, you know."



LATASHA SAYS SHE'LL GET ANOTHER MUSTANG EVENTUALLY, BUT TRADING HER DREAM CAR
FOR PORKCHOP WAS AN EASY DECISION.



"To have my family back again, priceless."
