Story with a happy ending

Here is quite a story, and it ended happily thanks to Photoshop, my Mac, and cell phones.
Last night I was about to take Hannah and Muffin for their evening walk, let them out onto the porch, came indoors to get the leashes. But before I got back out, fireworks let off, and Hannah took off.
We looked all night for her, driving, walking, bicycling, me sitting on our chimney calling and whistling.
Then at 0530 Richie took off in the truck calling and calling.
Then I started calling dog officers, local vets, friends, everybody at about 0830.
Then fired up Photoshop, and made these posters and put them all over town.
At about 330 some people here on vacation from NH had seen the poster that Julie had just put up in the West Falmouth market. As they exited the highway and came by the overpass, they saw Hannah heading along the roadside. They called me when they saw the sign in the store, we dispatched the whole family(4 cars) and found her in the woods at Bourne's Farm.
How many miles had that poor doggie gone?
So this is how my Mac, Photoshop, and cell phones saved Hannah's life.
Here is a picture of the poster. So the moral of this story, if a pet ever gets lost, get as many pictures posted where the most people can see them, as FAST as you can.
