A Lost Dog, a Phone App, a Love Story...

    SEATTLE, WA, July 17, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- There were a few extra drops mixed in with the usual rain in Seattle early one Sunday afternoon. Joey, the owner of a 6 year old Australian shephard dog, "Melbourne," was the cause of these few extra drops, with the tears falling from his eyes...His dog went missing in a very mysterious way as he was fixing the seat of his bicycle on the way back from their Sunday walk.

As Joey was helplessly looking around for Melbourne, he wrecked his brain for all the ideas that could help him, including using his phone. Suddenly, he recalled the Missed Connections App which he had downloaded the day before, and decided to create a post about his lost dog. Missed Connections App is usually used to get a second chance for a romantic opportunity, but this time it was a call out to all the people around him for help finding Melbourne, since the app triggers a notification when a person nearby makes a post on the platform saying, "A new posting made near you."

Not too long after, a friendly voice approached Joey asking if he was still looking for Melbourne. Autumn, a long-time Portlander who recently moved to Seattle, happened to be using the same app since she was new in town. Want to guess the rest?

It's a double whammy! Melbourne was found after 4-5 hours of scouting Volunteer Park, which called for a coffee break for the two to realize they had found more than just Melbourne. Joey and Autumn have been enjoying Seattle's beautiful sights together ever since, and happily admitting how things worked out magically for them. They can not thank Missed Connections App enough for bringing them together.

Missed Connections App was created by a Seattle start up, formed by a Jewish rock star and a mortgage banker. Huh? Yes, the story has all sorts of colors...The Missed Connections App is trying to take the trophy from Craigslist by enabling a higher chance of reconnecting than any other platform in the missed connections world. This is why the app is tied to Facebook aside from the web and the mobile versions that are available for free.

Opilio Entertainment says, "Romance deserves a second chance". Well, hearing stories like this, I'd say it won't hurt to keep this app on your phone just in case Cupid is right around the corner but he needs a little tech help to be heard.
