There is the family we are born into and the family we choose. And oftentimes, pets come into our lives and become a part of our chosen family, beloved just like every other member.
So when furkids go missing, owners will go to great lengths to locate them.
On Monday (13 Jun), Ms Regine took to Facebook group Lost and Found pets in Singapore to appeal for help after her one-year-old beagle puppy, Lady, went missing a day earlier.

Ms Regine explained that Lady had been spooked by the fireworks at Sentosa and ran off when the harness clasp broke.
The pup was last seen in the Siloso Beach area.
On Sunday evening (12 Jun), Ms Regine was with her beagle pup Lady at Sentosa when fireworks went off at the beach. Startled, the dog ran off.
Ms Regine explained that Lady’s harness clasp, which was brand new, had come undone, allowing her to run away.

According to Ms Regine’s Facebook post, Lady was last seen near Trapizza along Siloso Beach Walk. However, a witness claimed she later ran into the bushes nearby and disappeared.
That same day, Ms Regine and her family went to the area and spent hours shouting for Lady, but to no avail.
Later during the wee hours of the morning, she put up a Facebook post appealing for help to find her beagle.

The puppy also responds to the name “Lady”.
On Monday (13 Jun), the day after Lady went missing, her family went down to Sentosa at 3pm to begin their search again.
They were apparently informed that someone heard a bark at Siloso Road near the Imbiah Trail at 7pm. But despite looking for hours, they still could not find Lady and ended their search at midnight.
Ms Regine also shared a map of the areas that she and her family covered during their search.

Since her appeal, many people have gone down to help with the search, and their efforts are greatly appreciated by Ms Regine.
She added in the comments section that she has already informed the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) and the Animal & Veterinary Service (AVS) about her lost dog.
The Sentosa rangers are also in the know about Lady.
It’s now the third day since Lady went missing.

The young beagle had run off without having her dinner on Sunday (12 Jun), leaving her family worried about her. They also miss her terribly.
While they have not spotted her yet, Ms Regine and her family refuse to give up and are now narrowing down search areas. They have also been bringing Lady’s favourite treats and toys with them in hopes of attracting her.

Most of all, they wish to know if Lady is alive and safe.
Speaking to MS News, Ms Regine shared that her family is now in contact with an animal communicator to help find Lady.
When a pet goes missing, owners would understandably be overwhelmed with worry.
So if you happen to be in the Sentosa area, do keep a lookout for Lady and reach out to Regine via Facebook message here if you have any information.
Hopefully, with everyone’s help, Lady will soon be found and reunited safely with her pawrents.
