Man Reunites With Missing Dog During Commute

In a heartwarming turn of events that quickly went viral, Quincy Thomas was filming a casual update during his morning commute on April 16 when he spotted something completely unexpected—his beloved dog Lola, who had been missing for five days.

Thomas was in the middle of announcing an upcoming song release on Instagram when his eyes widened in disbelief. The video, shared to his account @xquincythomasx, captures the moment he sees Lola near the roadside. “Lola, Lola, hi baby,” he shouts, urgently honking the horn and pulling over. Unable to exit the car fast enough, he races out and calls to her gently, worried she might run away if startled.

Thankfully, Lola recognized him and came closer. Thomas guided her into the car and, in a switch from emotional relief to protective dad mode, firmly told her to get in. The moment marked the end of a stressful, emotional search.

Still overwhelmed, Thomas realizes the entire reunion was caught on his phone camera. As he shared his joy, Lola sat calmly in the car, appearing unfazed by her five-day adventure—much to the amusement of viewers.

The video racked up over 4.6 million views by Friday, with Instagram users flooding the comments. One joked, “Not Lola hopping in like she got picked up from the airport,” while another said, “He was about to jump out before the car even stopped—and HE was driving!”

Reflecting on the moment, Thomas wrote: “…I don’t have the words for how I feel.” His video is now being celebrated across social media as a touching reminder of the unbreakable bond between a pet and their person.
