TL;DR
- Christine Quaiff is a volunteer lost pet recovery specialist who tracks and traps missing dogs.
- She recently found two Goldendoodles, Bailee and Tobey, who went missing after their owner, Annie Olup, was in a serious car accident.
- Quaiff used drones, trail cameras, and traps, working indefinitely on the case in addition to her full-time job.
- It took 10 days to find Tobey and 16 days to find Bailee, and the dogs were reunited with Olup.
- Quaiff's motivation stems from kindness and the belief that lost pets are like family members.
