Colombia earthquake: Girl finds lost dog using hand-drawn portrait

Following a 7.4 magnitude earthquake in Colombia on August 10, 2026, a seven-year-old girl named Antonia successfully reunited with her lost dog, Bruno, after using a hand-drawn portrait to aid the search.

In the aftermath of the seismic event, Bruno disappeared during the chaos. Antonia created a drawing of the dog's face, including his full name and a contact telephone number, to help others identify him. Alongside her mother, Geraldine, Antonia used the drawing to seek assistance from people in their neighborhood.

The search gained significant momentum after the Fundación Gloria Mariana shared the drawing and the story on social media. This mobilization helped lead to the dog's recovery. The eventual reunion between Antonia and Bruno was captured on video and shared widely online.
