Amy Thompson was prepared to move to Omaha if she couldn't find her dog.

That’s how much her 4-year-old tan German shepherd-Australian dingo mix, Bella, means to her. Bella helps keep Thompson’s anxiety in check and could be on her way to becoming a certified therapy dog.

When Bella darted off from a friend’s house on Dec. 12, 500 miles from Thompson's Denver home, she began a tireless search, one she had no plans of giving up, even if it meant staying in Omaha.

Thanks to about 30 kindhearted volunteers, she doesn't have to stay.
