Within 24 hours, Mann said Lilo and her owner were sharing a big hug.

"We got a phone call from someone that was claiming to be her mom," Mann explained. "I called them back and asked them questions and right away, it was very clear that it definitely was her just based off some of the things that were shared with me. And so we had her come in to just verify identity and we let them see each other of course, and that's when that next photo got taken and shared."

Mann said she was unable to identify the owner publicly out of regard for the owner and their family's protection but said it was apparent Lilo was a beloved family pet.
